Gestalt Therapy in Bayside
A present focused approach to awareness, connection, and personal growth.
​
At Sandringham Psychotherapy, Gestalt Therapy offers a grounded and compassionate space to explore your inner experience, deepen self-awareness, and create meaningful change. This approach supports you to become more present with your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Which helps you better understand how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you.
What Is Gestalt Therapy?
Gestalt Therapy is a holistic, experiential form of psychotherapy that focuses on the “here and now” of your lived experience. Rather than analysing problems from a distance, it invites mindful awareness of what arises in the moment, including thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and relational patterns.
​
Clients often find Gestalt Therapy empowering because it:
-
Encourages self-awareness and emotional clarity
-
Supports authentic expression and personal agency
-
Helps integrate past experiences that influence the present
-
Strengthens the mind–body connection
-
Promotes self-acceptance and meaningful change
How Gestalt Therapy Works
Gestalt Therapy sessions are collaborative, experiential, and deeply relational. Your therapist gently guides you to notice what is happening within you, and between you and your environment. This supports insight and new possibilities.
​
This may include:
-
Mindfulness and present-moment awareness practices
-
Exploring beliefs, emotions, and recurring patterns
-
Creative or experiential techniques (e.g. imagery, dialogue)
-
Working with body awareness and interconnected emotions
-
Understanding unmet needs and how they shape behaviour
Rather than giving advice or quick fixes, your therapist walks alongside you, helping you connect more fully with your own inner wisdom and capacity for growth.
What Gestalt Therapy Can Support

-
Anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm
-
Relationship or communication difficulties

Low self-esteem or self-criticism
