Gestalt therapeutic work has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of issues such as anxiety, stress, addiction, tension and depression, whether as a long-term therapy or via a number of sessions.

How long does gestalt therapy last?

Gestalt therapy is not a ‘quick fix’. Treatment takes time and is closely tailored to individual needs. The length of treatment varies for each person, but can range from a few months to one or two years of weekly or fortnightly meetings, depending on the nature of your problems.

Is gestalt therapy talk therapy?

Gestalt therapy is distinct because it moves toward action, away from mere talk therapy, and for this reason is considered an experiential approach. Through experiments, the therapist supports the client’s direct experience of something new, instead of merely talking about the possibility of something new.
