Suicide: An Endless Paradox

29th July 2020

We are interested in exploring some of the unbridled discomfort that emerges from the experience of suicide. Our aim is to cultivate discussion and curiosity around some of the taboos of the topic. In doing so, our intention to disarm some of the resistance, pain and grief, inherent in the many ripples of suicide. We will be promoting self-support and using both personal and professional narratives, from a gestalt lens.

Culture and Gestalt

29th October 2020

Join us for a reflective conversation about how our own cultural backgrounds shape and influence each of us. We will draw upon the experiences of those in the room to examine the strengths and weaknesses of the gestalt approach for supporting a culturally aware and inclusive psychotherapy practice
