What is it?

Gestalt therapy looks at the person as a whole, in contact with what surrounds them, and is interested in how that contact happens: what is avoided, what is interrupted, what is left unsaid. Rather than interpreting, it proposes experiments within the session so that what is being described starts happening and can be noticed.

Who it is for

For people who understand very well what happens to them and go on repeating it, for difficulties in contact and emotional expression, and for anyone looking for livelier work than a conversation about the week.

What a session looks like

It is more active than most therapies. Experiments may be proposed, dialogues with parts of yourself or with absent people, attention to what the body does while you speak. Nothing is imposed: each experiment is offered and can be declined. Online therapy in English, by video call, with an English-speaking therapist: for people in Portugal and for expats, wherever you live in Europe.

available approaches

Approaches we work with

This approach is not yet available at the clinic

You can explore the approaches we work with or book a first consultation. We will help you choose the support that best fits what brings you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Works on the link between thoughts, emotions and behaviour, with defined goals and tasks between sessions.

EMDR

Works on difficult memories with bilateral stimulation, without requiring you to recount everything in detail.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Changes your relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings, so they stop deciding what you do.

Mindfulness

Trains attention to the present moment, inside therapy and with a defined clinical purpose.

Person-Centred Therapy

A space without judgement, led by you, where the relationship is the main instrument.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Looks for the pattern behind the symptom, and the history that formed it.

Systemic Therapy

Works on relationships and the patterns between people, rather than looking for someone to blame.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

A short process focused on building the solution rather than analysing the problem.

Narrative Therapy

Works on the story we tell about ourselves, and separates the person from the problem.

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Treats emotion as information to work with, not a symptom to reduce.

faq

Possibly, and only if it makes sense and you want to. It is a well-known exercise, useful for giving voice to a dialogue that has not happened, but it is neither compulsory nor what defines the approach.

It can be more intense than a conversation, because it works with what is present rather than only with the account. The pace is regulated with you, and stopping is always a legitimate option.

It does, with adaptations. Some experiments change shape and others work the same. What is lost is part of the non-verbal information, and what is gained is doing it from home, where many people are more at ease.

No. You can book directly on our website or with Sofia, our virtual assistant, without any referral from your GP.

Online only for now, while our clinic in Cascais is being refurbished. We reopen in December, and in-person sessions return with it.
