Tegan Mumford Counselling & Psychotherapy

My practice with individuals draws on my training in Relational Gestalt Psychotherapy, Attachment Theory, Trauma Theory, and Anti-Oppressive Practice Theories.

So what is Gestalt Psychotherapy?

It is a form of counselling and psychotherapy that promotes growing awareness and integration, and capacity for being present to what is, in the here-and-now - using the relationship between counsellor and client as a tool. The more we are able to be present to ourselves and others, in the moment, the more we are able to be choiceful and responsive in our lives, instead of operating on auto-pilot, and the more satisfying and meaningful our relationships with ourselves, others and the world can become.

Relational Gestalt Psychotherapy is built upon 6 principles:

• Embodied awareness

• Attuned and transformational presence

• Enlivened and responsive relating

• Compassionate and experimental living

• Cultural and environmental sensitivity

• Ethical and just engagement and community-mindedness

What this looks like in practice will look different for different people, depending on where you are at and what emerges between us as we work together.
