Ioanna Nina Karakosta - Gestalt therapy

Integrative Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt therapy is a holistic approach to well-being that focuses on the here and now. The word "Gestalt" means "form" in German, and this therapy emphasizes the importance of bringing awareness to the present moment to create a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Key Principles
-
Holistic View: Gestalt therapy considers all dimensions of your being – body, emotions, mind, relationships, and spirituality.
-
Present-Focused: We'll work together to explore your current experiences, thoughts, and feelings.
-
Self-Awareness: You'll gain a deeper understanding of your inner world and how it influences your choices.
-
Responsibility: Gestalt therapy empowers you to take ownership of your life and create positive change.
Integrative Approach
The Gestalt therapy I practice is integrative, drawing from:
-
Traditional Gestalt Therapy: The foundations laid by Frederick Perls.
-
Neuroscience: The latest research on how the brain and body work together.
-
Mindfulness: Practices to cultivate present-moment awareness.
-
Humanistic Psychology: An emphasis on personal growth and potential.
Gestalt therapy is more than just talk therapy; it's a philosophy of living. It's about embracing your authentic self, finding clarity amidst life's complexities, and transforming challenges into opportunities for growth.
The true journey of discovery does not consist of seeking new landscapes but of having new eyes.
