Gestalt Psychotherapy with Nigel Lack
Gestalt is, in a nutshell, access to balance and choice through embodied awareness. A humanistic, relational, experience-near approach, focussed on your present embodied process.
Most clients seek counselling when feeling stuck in life, hitting a wall, or experiencing a wakeup call such as a bereavement, job loss, relationship, health scare, addiction or other traumatic situation. Therapy can work to untangle confusion and I offer a supportive joint exploration to find meaning and identify what is really important to you.
From a safe space, in the present, we can work with facing deep emotions and desires exploring how you prevent yourself from achieving your potential. Our discoveries of how experience gets interpreted can also reveal a more realistic outlook. You will utilise your own agency creatively to explore how you understand and organise your life, giving us a ground to work from towards change and growth.
Aiming to understand how to be responsive rather than reactive, and achieve a deeper sense of satisfaction and completion, we will work to enhance the way you currently support yourself to increase your sense of personal fulfilment.
I will provide a wide perspective gleaned from my diverse, creative background, rooted in current mind and body thinking as well as my continuing development, and tailor the therapy journey to your unique needs.
As a sex positive therapist, I continue to support growth working with all of your intersections and ability including culture, origins, gender and sexual creativity, LGBTQA+ and Kink. I keep up to date with developments in neuroscience, psychotherapy and trauma informed practice, as well as my ongoing interest in new approaches to how to effectively work with change and develop emotional resilience.
