Marc Williams - Gestalt Psychotherapist

My Approach

I aim to engage with you in a deep and fundamental way, fostering an environment of

acceptance that allows you a greater sense of freedom and space in which to explore. This

is different to everyday relating, where there are outside pressures, judgements, and

expected ways of behaving. My attempt is to get as close as I possibly can to your

experience of yourself and your world; help you to look at how you respond to it and what

you might want to do about it.

Typically, in a session, I encourage exploration of what your current concern is, providing

a space to help you examine your experiences and sharing what I notice. For example, I

may become aware of something being communicated in your voice-tone, eye-contact or

body language that you are not yet consciously aware. By raising your awareness of this

expression you can see it in a new light. I may notice that I am reacting in a particular way

to something that you are saying or doing which may shed some light on the situation. All

this helps you to see what is happening in a clearer way, allowing you more choice in the

way you manage it.

About Marc

I work both short-term and longer term depending on the needs of the situation. I do

suggest an initial one-off session before you make a commitment, This will give you a feel

for the way that I work and to see if therapy with me is suitable. I believe that it is

important as a prospective client that you find the right therapist for you needs.
