In the Gestalt Psychotherapeutic approach, we believe that the client knows himself/herself better than the therapist. Therefore, on this journey the therapist will be a fellow traveler and the questions that arise will be answered by the clients themselves through this relational process, with the pace of the process set by the needs and desires of each individual.

It's true that many people come to therapy with a sense of doubt, which is understandable. However, the main initial criterion that will keep someone in therapy is a personal decision to see their "blind spots", the ones that others usually see in us, but we fail to perceive ourselves. A professional can slowly become a person who understands you deeply and has the skills to therapeutically illuminate these shadowy parts.

The first thing a client needs to concern himself with is how he can claim things he/she deserves, but didn't see before starting therapy. Financial problems are often seen as objective obstacles, but often during the therapeutic process the patient realizes that they were an excuse not to start treatment. Thus the power he/she acquires through the process helps him/her become even stronger and more able to cope with such perspectives.

Certainly the support networks of our environment are absolutely necessary for our mental balance; however they cannot, when there is a repeated pressuring need, replace professional experience, from which one can benefit due to the objectivity of the professional, along with all the professional knowledge and experience included in a relationship with a professional therapist.

If you consider your life to be full, then there is no reason to question it. Psychotherapy, however, is a completely personal issue that comes as an internal need, at a specific moment, that only the individual can decide for themselves. After all, therapy is an opportunity for personal development.

Caution and fear in front of the unknown, against the familiar way, is a very important defense. Very often, however, this familiar way of contact is the reason that our life, our thoughts, our relationships with friends, colleagues and possible partners, end up being more of an obstacle than a help. This leads the individual to a repeated pattern with the same results, to the point he/she begins to blame the others for his or her own fate. Therapy is a delicate work with ourselves, so that we both support and protect it, while taking our personal responsibilities.

Mental health is quite underestimated compared to physical health. Although we may postpone our medical examinations, at some point, even if only at the last minute when the body calls out, we make an appointment with the doctor. The same should be true for mental pain; it's just not yet part of our culture to listen to it and give it the same value as the physical.

Gestalt psychotherapy is a non-intrusive approach that prioritizes the individual's personal rhythm as it develops in the midst of the relationship with the therapist. It does not promise quick results or magical solutions. Everything we hear from those around us, therefore, cannot be a model for our own uniqueness. The relationship a client develops with the therapist is unique and cannot be compared with the experiences of others.
