Mike Chatziapostolou

I’m a gestalt therapist based in South Devon working with clients in-person and online.

Gestalt therapy is a creative, experiential approach to psychotherapy. Instead of focusing only on the past, it also draws on the lived experience of the present moment, bringing attention to your thoughts, feelings and sensations.

My clients tell me they value my calm presence, curiosity and authenticity. I aim to offer a space of trust, exploration and genuine contact, where you can bring your whole self, free of judgement.

The way we exist in the world is shaped by our experiences, relationships, and environments. Therapy provides a safe space to gently explore these dynamics, bringing fresh awareness to the patterns shaping your life and providing support during life challenges.

Gestalt integrates scientific, social and spiritual landscapes, bringing mindful awareness to your unique experience of the present-moment and the field of context we each inhabit.

Exploring the present

We explore together what arises in the present moment.

Paying attention

Attention is given to body as well as mind, recognising both carry important information.

Finding patterns

We look at patterns that may feel stuck or limiting, and discover new ways of being.

Creating a safe space

The therapeutic relationship becomes a safe space for experimentation and growth.

Locations:

Currently all sessions are offered online. For an online session, you will need a computer with a webcam, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection and Zoom video conferencing software installed. It is important to have a safe and private space where you feel comfortable and won’t be interrupted.

  • Fees: Sessions cost £65 and are 50 minutes
  • Frequency: Weekly on the same day and time each week

Accountability:

I practice in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions and all sessions are confidential. I hold professional liability insurance, and my work is supported by regular supervision with an accredited supervisor.
