My name is Ineta Kokorisa and I am a Gestalt Therapist (MBACP) offering weekly in-person and online therapy sessions.
Having experienced the transformative power of therapy in my own life, I am passionate about supporting others with their process of healing and reclaiming the joy of life. Life throws many things at us which can knock us off our feet. Many of my clients have come to counselling feeling anxious, sad, frustrated, lonely, angry, depressed, experiencing relationship difficulties,
About me and my practice
I am trained in Gestalt Therapy, which works with the here and now, it is a way of exploring your here and now experience in the context of the issue you are bringing to the counselling session. Whilst this may be something to do with a past experience; what I am curious about as a Gestalt counsellor is finding-out what it is like for you to explore that issue, with me, in the present moment. In therapy I support growth and fuller self-expression through body-awareness, creative experimentation and the use of mindfulness techniques. I provide an open space to explore, reflect, experiment and play. You won't have to talk about anything or do anything you do not want to.
I will work with you towards greater self -understanding, self-acceptance, freedom to choose the way you want to live your life. You may come to feel some of your issues can be changed, some can be accepted, all can be understood. These are lifelong processes of discovery. The focus is on gaining awareness now, so that we can take responsibility for the choices that we make for ourselves. As a result we can live more fully in the present and find meaning in our inner and outer worlds.
I work in Tooting Beck, central London or online and offer 50-minute long therapy - time limited or open ended sessions.
I abide by the BACPs Ethical Framework. Im committed to my continuous professional development and attend ongoing supervision, so I can best support my clients with whatever they bring to the therapy.
