Dr. Stefa Hirsch

Gestalt therapy is one of the humanistic approaches, placing the person at the center. This is also reflected in my way of working. I work calmly, with structure and empathy. My attitude is open, without rigid categorizations – I look at each situation anew. As Gestalt therapy is a strongly experiential and process-oriented approach, I complement the classical conversational format with creative elements such as symbols or music. My personal background also shapes my work: I have lived abroad several times and was the first in my family to study at university. This allows me to bring an understanding of different social contexts and cultures into my practice.
