Academy of sexuality and intimacy

Kari

I am a gestalt psychotherapist, receiving clients in individual therapy and counselling.

Gestalt therapy is a holistic approach to psychotherapy that works with the mind, feelings and bodily processes in an integrated way. Gestalt therapy also takes a relational approach – putting connection and relationships at the center of the human experience. In gestalt therapy, we see people as connected and constantly in relations with other people and their environment. This also affects how I work with clients in therapy. I believe that healing happens through connection and in relations, and not isolated in an individual.

I believe we can meet others only at the depth that we have met ourselves. I am deeply motivated to support clients towards living more authentic lives. I see gestalt therapy as a great method for self-exploration and self-understanding, which directly impacts how we are able to show up in different kinds of relationships and in the world. For example how we are able to identify our needs, how we can care for ourselves and how we can ask for our needs to be met by others. As well as how we listen to, receive, care for and understand others. This can help us explore and understand our boundaries and strengthen and deepen the connection and intimacy in our relationships.

My approach to therapy comes from a strong belief in you and in your potential. You are not broken, so I will not try to fix you. I believe in your ability to live the life that you want. I see your many parts and sides, and I see your wholeness. I see the beauty in your complexity. I will meet you where you are in your process, and it will be my honor to walk with you on our path of self-discovery.

Some of my areas of competence as a therapist include supporting clients in discovering who they are and their identities (for example related to LGBTQ+ and gender identity), relational diversity (for example related to ethical non-monogamy and polyamory), sensuality, sexuality and intimacy.
