I am Daniel, your Gestalt Therapist...
My Gestalt Therapy practice focuses on transition counselling, because this is a permanent journey, the changes that challenge us in the present, the transitions we are constantly living, some greater than others.
And all of that happens right now, right here.
Balance seems at times elusive, we are constantly seeking to centre, as if walking the tightrope.
That is a metaphor for our life journeying.

DECADES OF TRAINING AND INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE INTEGRATING COMPLEMENTARY DISCIPLINES OF SELF-INQUIRY
* neuro linguistic programming: and the power of narrative and story telling, the words and language we use,
the power of our own sound, how it can empower us to create a better and healthier version of ourselves.
* psychogenealogy in systemic (family / ancestral) relations: Family defines our early life and sometimes
conditions us. Awareness of our part in the family system will grant us better understanding of ourselves.
* buddhist psychology and mindfulness meditation: today we have distilled ancient tools and knowledge
that are at our reach, such as breathing, meditation, concentration.
* body awareness: gestalt therapy helps us connect with our own body intelligence through techniques such
as Kepner's body process (c), Blosh & Maturana's alba emoting (c), Moreno's psychodrama (c).
* clinical hypnosis: based on the ericksonian method as a tool to further access and self-inquire and communicate
with our unconscious and hidden messaging
* psychomatics: relates to physical symptoms that can be attributed to psychological or emotional conditions
* coaching: therapy is a practical way to learn of onself and move towards achieving one's goals
My practice of Gestalt Therapy constitutes a radical viable alternative to other therapies such as CBT, psychodynamic,
positive, and it is an excellent resource to heal anxiety and trauma, including PTSD, and psychosomatic symptoms;
it will improve your decision making processing, and helps you gain better perspective on your life goals.
Daily meditation practice is something I greatly encourage. All it takes is a few minutes a day. Meditation is commonly practised by sitting comfortably whether in a lotus position or in a chair, straight back, and placing awareness and attention to your own breathing.
And there other ways to practice mindfulness, which means full attention and presence. You can meditate while you walk, while you eat. The most important aspect of mindfulness is to gain awareness of mind and body in the present moment.
