Ricardo Goni-Estrada - Humanistic Integrative Counsellor

I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist with 18 years of experience, and  a BACP accredited  Humanistic Integrative Counsellor. After finishing my Law degree, I  changed my career to dedicate myself completely to exploring human existence. I worked with indigenous communities that impacted my view of the world and my life.

I also have a Specialisation in Humanistic Music-therapy and a specialisation in Bio-energetic therapy, this approach works with the embodiment of the emotions, it's basically how the emotions and the body are  related to each other.

I am a member of the Mexican Association of Gestalt Psychotherapy.

Professional Experience

I supported drug users in Mexico for 7 years, in a Rehab called "La Esperanza" (Hope), working with Bionergetic psychotherapy and Music therapy.

I worked  for the Mexican Government, designing and running workshops of family violence and gender violence. 

In 2005, I founded Vom Pui therapeutic Centre in Mexico, providing therapy, meditation, training and workshops for private clients.

I supported drug users for a year in Salisbury, U.K.

I have worked with groups, couples and individuals from different countries, providing face to face and online therapy.

Approach

I can accompany you to explore your thoughts, experiences and emotions on your own pace,  with the intention of integrating them and understand of what is going on with you.

 I can  offer you empathy, respect, a kind approach combined with the right amount of feedbacks and gentle challenges and the therapeutic resources I have experienced in my own therapeutic process.
