Gestalt psychotherapy takes a holistic and relational approach emphasising the present moment. Guiding clients toward self-awareness, the therapist explores thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations; working in the ‘here and now’, whilst also paying attention to a client’s historical relationships and experiences.
