Gestalt therapy is a form of psychotherapy that promotes the dissolvement of inner conflicts and therefore the balance of mental and physical health.

The therapy is based on humanistic and existential theories and has its focus on full awareness of the present moment here & now.

«Don’t push the river – it flows by itself» is the motto of the phenomenological approach in Gestalt therapy. Trusting in the organismic self-regulation and focusing on what shows up in the foreground, renewal can happen.


«Change occurs. If we dive deeply into what we are, if we accept, what there is, change occurs. This is the paradoxical theory of change.»

Fritz Pearls, founder of Gestalt therapy

By becoming aware of the so-called "open gestalts" - patterns that used to protect us but have now become, at best, obstacles to our development - these can be worked on in Gestalt therapy through various techniques (work with the inner child, ego-state work, imagination, mindfulness, body awareness, genogram work, trauma work) in such a way that experience and behavior, that are beneficial for development, can be learned and internalized.

By sharpening the senses with the support of mindfulness-based techniques, we increase the ability to classify what we feel. If mind and body are consciously perceived, they can be brought back into harmony and "flow" naturally.
In this way, old paths can be walked more consciously or new ones can be courageously pursued.

During counseling, I focus my trained senses in such a way that in the contact between me and the client a relevant gestalt/pattern comes to the fore which can be processed.
