View profileGestalt Therapy helps people become more aware of what they feel, need and repeat in daily life. It focuses on present-moment experience, emotions, body sensations, relationships and personal responsibility. The aim is not to analyse everything from a distance, but to notice what happens now and explore new ways of responding.
This therapy may support people dealing with stress, life transitions, relationship issues, low self-esteem, questions of meaning and purpose, emotional blocks, loneliness, shame, anger, people-pleasing or boundary difficulties.
In sessions, the therapist may help the client slow down and notice thoughts, emotions, body signals, posture, tone of voice or moments of avoidance. This can reveal patterns that often stay automatic. Gestalt Therapy may also use experiential exercises, such as dialogue work or the “empty chair” technique. These exercises can help clarify emotions, needs and unresolved situations.
The work should stay collaborative. A responsible therapist explains each exercise, checks consent and adapts the pace. The goal is not to push the client into strong emotions, but to create enough safety for awareness and change.
Gestalt Therapy can help with communication difficulties, boundary-setting difficulties and emotional regulation. It may also support people who feel disconnected from themselves or unsure of what they want.
Some therapists combine Gestalt Therapy with Humanistic Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic Therapy or Integrative Therapy. The best format depends on the person’s goals, history and emotional safety.
This information is educational and does not replace professional assessment, emergency support or treatment from a qualified professional.
Finding help in Berlin that works in English or another language can take time, so many people start their search for Gestalt therapy with a private, verified professional. Sessions pay attention to what you feel, say and do in the moment, sometimes with creative or experiential exercises.
Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes, weekly or every two weeks, in person in Berlin when a therapist offers it or online by secure video. If you plan to claim the cost from a German or international insurer, ask which qualifications it accepts; therapists provide invoices you can submit. If you are not sure whether Gestalt therapy fits what you are going through, send us a message and we will suggest therapists who match your needs.

Gestalt therapy is a humanistic, experiential approach that focuses on what you feel, think and do in the present moment. Through awareness exercises and dialogue, it helps you notice unfinished situations from the past and take responsibility for your choices here and now.
Gestalt Therapy is often used for concerns such as Life transitions, Meaning & purpose, Relationship issues, Self-esteem, and Stress.
The therapy page also shows which therapists on MIT currently offer this approach.
A first session usually focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and whether the therapist’s style feels like a good fit.
You do not need to prepare anything perfect in advance. It is normal to start with questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings.
This depends on your goals, the complexity of what you are dealing with, and how structured the approach is. Some people use this therapy for short-term focused work, while others stay longer for deeper change.
Availability depends on the therapist. On MIT, you can check the therapist cards and profile pages to see whether online sessions are offered.
Fees vary by therapist. When no live therapist prices are available yet, the usual range for this therapy is around €80–€140 per session.
Start by reading the therapist’s profile, experience, languages, online/in-person availability, and approach. Then check whether the person works with the kind of issue you want help with.
A good fit is often about both expertise and how safe, understood, and comfortable you feel with the therapist.
Yes. MIT profiles can include direct messaging, and therapists can also activate online booking when available.
This helps patients ask practical questions before committing to a first session.
That is very common. You can start by contacting a therapist, explaining what you are struggling with, and asking whether this approach fits your goals.
If no therapist is listed yet for this therapy, you can still explore related approaches and pathologies on the site.
Both are possible, depending on the therapist. Some therapists on My International Therapy receive clients in person in Berlin, others work online by secure video, and many offer both. Each profile shows the formats offered. Online sessions are also a way to keep the same therapist if you move or travel.
Yes. Many therapists in the network work in English, and others in German, Russian, Ukrainian and further languages. You can browse English-speaking, German-speaking, Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking therapists in Berlin, and every profile lists the languages spoken.
Statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times of several months are common. Many international residents therefore start with a private therapist and pay directly. Private health insurance and some supplementary or expat policies reimburse part of the sessions, depending on the therapist’s qualification: check your contract. Therapists provide invoices you can submit to your insurer.
Each therapist sets their own fee, which is shown on their profile. As a guide, most individual approaches on this site are listed between €80 and €180 per session, couples and family therapy between €120 and €220, and coaching, career counselling or parenting support between €70 and €130. Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes.
Therapy is not an emergency service. If you or someone close to you is in danger, call 112. The Telefonseelsorge offers free, anonymous support 24/7 on 0800 111 0 111 or 0800 111 0 222.
The relationship with your therapist matters as much as the method. Compare profiles for the approach used, the topics they work with, the languages, the format and the fee. If you are unsure where to start, describe what you are going through and we will suggest therapists who suit your needs. The first session is also a chance to see whether the fit feels right.
