Before you book
How many sessions will I need?
Gestalt isn't a course with a fixed length. First shifts usually surface in 4–6 meetings; deeper work takes 6–18 months. You can stop whenever it feels right.
I've never been to therapy. Is that ok?
Yes — most of my clients haven't. You don't need to prepare anything. We start from "I don't know where to start" if that's where you are.
Is everything I say confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is the ethical and legal baseline. The only exceptions involve real risk to your or someone else's life — we cover this in the first session.
Online or in person — does it matter?
For most work, no. In-person can feel different in body-focused experiments; online is fine for the rest. Many clients mix the two.
Do you accept insurance?
Direct billing isn't available for most international insurance. I provide an itemised invoice (in EN or LT) you can submit for reimbursement.
How is gestalt different from CBT or psychoanalysis?
Gestalt works in the present moment — what's happening in the room. Not thoughts as homework (CBT) and not the past as the main object (psychoanalysis). It's experiential and dialogical.
