My UKCP registration was gained by training in Gestalt Therapy and this approach constitutes my main mode of intervention. What this means in English is that I belong to the school of thought known as the "Humanistic" therapies, those based on the belief that therapist and client are equal partners in the venture, not expert and patient. The therapist's job, therefore, is to strive to be a genuine human being, to understand and feel for the client and to refrain from judging or directing them.
