ABOUT
GESTALT work -
practice & therapy
For those who seek to grow. For some a way of life. Existential, experiential, experimental.
The word ‘gestalt’ is German for ‘form’ or ‘whole’. Humans naturally and automatically use gestalt principles in our perception of the world and ourselves in it in order to find meaning in our experiences.
I call it Gestalt work – for meaning and whole making.
With roots in the 1930s Europe, in gestalt psychology and psychoanalysis, it developed in the 1940s-60s in the US as an approach to individual psychotherapy. Used today across the world, in conversations, development work, coaching and therapy. With individuals, children, teenagers, adults and couples, in groups and in organisations.

I work with
people, private and professionals, from one to many
Individuals
Most of my clients are private individuals. I work with them finding new, effective responses to their challenges. When old habits and strategies no longer suffice and life is marked by stress, dissatisfaction, pain, disconnection.
When life events overwhelm - in love, work, illness, loss or death.
And when their wish is to grow, plain and simple.
Groups
At first, the idea of group work may seem daunting - sharing your story with strangers. And it can be highly rewarding when timing and settings are right - "a load shared is a load halved".
I run small groups at regular intervals and on demand, with a dedicated theme or an open structure, on my own and with professional partners. Relationship, grief and bereavement groups have a special place in our work.
Organisations
I work in organisations, as do my partners in the Now-for-Next Team - in permanent roles and as external consultants, interim or project-based.
We work with people within organisations - individual employees, leaders and teams. Their relationships, approaches and impact - upon themselves, each other and the organisation at large...
