Psychotherapy
in the Gestalt approach

- Understanding the world through the prism of one’s own personality and character.

Working with a psychologist helps to realize the problems facing the individual, makes it possible to more purposefully form one's attitude to life, helps to see a wider range of alternative solutions and, as a result, to make more informed choices. Not tormented by doubts and worries.
The choice of options is always a natural right of everyone. Communication with a psychologist is an opportunity to speak out, an opportunity for a more complete, unique self-expression. Maintaining impartiality and objectivity, the consultant always remains on the client's side and helps to find the best way out of the situation.
In the function of an interested listener performed by the psychologist, as a rule, people from his environment cannot act for a person due to their "involvement" and personal experiences. When working with a client, a psychotherapist takes into account all his characteristics and, depending on them, uses different psychological concepts and methods.
