Discover Your Inner Harmony and Cultivate Growth
Are you seeking a unique and powerful path to self-discovery, healing, and personal growth? Our individual music therapy sessions, led by a highly experienced Registered Music Therapist and Gestalt Psychotherapist, offer a deeply personal and transformative journey.
What to Expect:
In these one-on-one sessions, you'll embark on a collaborative exploration of your inner world, guided by the expressive power of music and the insightful principles of Gestalt psychotherapy. We create a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you can:
Express Yourself Authentically: Whether through instrumental improvisation, singing, songwriting, or simply listening, music provides a non-verbal language to articulate feelings, thoughts, and experiences that may be difficult to put into words.
Explore Emotions and Experiences: Our therapist will sensitively guide you in using music to access, understand, and process a wide range of emotions, including joy, grief, anxiety, anger, and more.
Gain Self-Awareness: Through the integration of music therapy techniques and Gestalt principles, you'll develop a deeper understanding of your patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving in the present moment. We focus on "what is" happening now, helping you to connect with your authentic self.
Process Trauma and Past Experiences: Music can be a gentle yet profound tool for processing difficult memories and experiences, allowing for integration and healing.
Develop Coping Strategies: Learn new ways to manage stress, regulate emotions, and build resilience through musical interventions and therapeutic dialogue.
Enhance Relationships: By exploring your relational patterns within the therapeutic space, you can gain insights that improve your connections with others.
Unleash Creativity and Potential: Reconnect with your innate creativity and discover new avenues for self-expression, fostering a sense of vitality and purpose.

Individual Counselling Sessions: Discover Yourself in the Present
Are you seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, your patterns, and your relationships? Do you long for greater clarity, authenticity, and a renewed sense of purpose in your life? Individual Gestalt psychotherapy offers a unique and powerful path to self-discovery and lasting change.
What is Gestalt Psychotherapy?
Gestalt therapy is a holistic and experiential approach that focuses on the "here and now." Instead of solely dwelling on the past, we explore your present experience – your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and behaviors – as they emerge in the therapeutic relationship. This allows us to uncover unconscious patterns, unfinished business, and limiting beliefs that may be holding you back.
How Can Individual Sessions Help You?
In a safe, confidential, and supportive space, individual Gestalt counselling can help you:
Gain Self-Awareness: Become more attuned to your inner world and how you interact with the world around you.
Identify and Address Unfinished Business: Explore past experiences that continue to impact your present, bringing them to completion.
Resolve Inner Conflicts: Understand and integrate conflicting parts of yourself, leading to greater inner harmony.
Improve Relationships: Develop healthier communication patterns and more authentic connections with others.
Enhance Emotional Regulation: Learn to acknowledge, understand, and skillfully navigate your emotions.
Increase Personal Responsibility: Take ownership of your choices and actions, empowering you to create the life you desire.
Unblock Creativity and Potential: Reconnect with your innate resources and discover new possibilities.
Find Meaning and Purpose: Live a life that is more aligned with your values and authentic self.
Cope with Life Transitions: Navigate changes, losses, and challenges with greater resilience.
Reduce Stress, Anxiety, and Depression: Develop coping strategies and a deeper understanding of your experiences.
What to Expect in a Session:
Our sessions are collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. We won't just talk about your problems; we'll actively explore them through:
Dialogue and Exploration: Open and honest conversation about what's present for you.
Experiential Exercises: Techniques such as empty chair work, guided imagery, and movement to deepen awareness.
Focus on Body Sensations: Noticing and understanding the messages your body is sending.
Creative Expression: Utilizing various forms of expression to unlock insights.
Experimentation: Trying out new ways of being and behaving in a safe environment.
My role as your Gestalt psychotherapist is to be fully present with you, offering compassionate support, insightful observations, and gentle challenges to help you expand your awareness and discover your own solutions.
