Individual Therapy

Individual therapy provides a space to explore and process at your own pace. Whether you’re facing challenges, seeking clarity, or looking to deepen your self-understanding, one-on-one sessions can support you move forward with greater awareness and confidence.
 
Therapy – whether individual, groups or for couples – is a serious undertaking and commitment. Together, we will work toward meaningful shifts that enhance your life and relationships.

Couples Therapy

Relationships naturally go through challenges, and couples therapy provides a space to navigate difficulties, improve communication, and strengthen connection. Whether you’re facing conflict, trust issues, or major life transitions, therapy can help you understand each other more deeply. At The Gestalt Clinic, all our therapists are specifically trained to work with couples, offering support to better understand your unique dynamic. We focus on identifying patterns, improving communication, and fostering deeper connection. Sessions are 75 minutes, available in person or online. Book an initial consultation to explore how we can support your relationship.

Group Therapy

For most of human history, healing wasn’t a solitary endeavour – it happened in community. Across cultures and traditions, people gathered in circles to share their burdens, offer wisdom, and find strength in one another. Whether through storytelling, ritual, or shared silence, healing was a collective experience.
Yet in our modern world, where individualism is often emphasised, group therapy has become a lost art – one that has quietly transformed lives for centuries. Too often, it’s overlooked in favour of one-on-one sessions, yet research shows that group therapy is not only just as effective as individual therapy but also more efficient. The power of shared experience creates a unique kind of healing – one rooted in solidarity, mutual support, and the realisation that we are not alone.

What to Expect

In our group sessions, we focus on:

  • Reconnecting with Yourself – Listening to your body and emotions.
  • Sharing and Witnessing – Finding strength in being heard and holding space for others.
  • Rediscovering Balance – Navigating vulnerability, resilience, and joy.

Join the Circle

We offer both long-term and short-term psychotherapeutic groups, as well as personal development groups throughout the year. Contact us to learn more and take the first step toward healing in community.
1 Research consistently supports the effectiveness of group therapy across various conditions, including trauma, depression, and anxiety. Studies show that it fosters connection, improves emotional regulation, and leads to lasting change through shared understanding and support, often making it a more efficient and cost-effective therapeutic approach (Pappas, 2023; McRoberts, Burlingame, & Hoag, 1998; Lyons, Cooper, & Lloyd-Evans, 2021; McDermut, Miller, & Brown, 2001).

Cultivating Connection & Psychological Wellbeing

Human beings are wired for connection. From the moment we are born, our relationships shape our sense of self, our resilience, and our ability to thrive. Yet, in a
world that increasingly prioritises productivity over people, we often underestimate the profound impact of healthy relationships on mental wellbeing and workplace success.

Our training programmes focus on the art of meaningful connection – equipping practitioners, teams, and organisations with the skills to foster psychological wellbeing and relational depth. We offer Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training for therapists and mental health practitioners, as well as bespoke workshops for companies and organisations seeking to build stronger, more connected teams.

Why Relationships Matter

Research consistently shows that strong relationships are one of the most significant predictors of mental health, happiness, and even workplace performance. When people feel connected and valued, they are more engaged, resilient, and productive. Healthy relationships create environments where individuals can communicate effectively, collaborate with ease, and navigate challenges with greater emotional intelligence¹

Training for Practitioners

Our CPD training is designed for therapists, counsellors, and mental health professionals looking to deepen their understanding of relational dynamics. These workshops offer exploration and practical tools to enhance therapeutic practice, supporting clients develop new ways of being.

Workshops

A thriving workplace is built on trust, communication, and emotional intelligence. Our workshops support teams cultivate a culture of connection, leading to improved collaboration, reduced stress, and greater job satisfaction.

Invest in Connection

Whether you are a practitioner seeking to expand your skillset or an organisation looking to foster a new work environment, our training programmes provide the tools to strengthen relationships and promote psychological wellbeing.
