My Approach

Gestalt Psychotherapy

About Me

Hello, my name is Semyon Polyakovskii. I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist based in Bristol. I help people find new ways of coping with situations in their lives, when the ways they are familiar with are not sufficient anymore.

My first encounter with psychotherapy was 12 years ago, and since then I have learned first-hand how much it can offer. Today I run my own practice and invite you to explore the new horizons within yourself and in the world around you.
​
I believe that only you as a client hold the key to the most appropriate solutions for situations in your life. My role in psychotherapy is to help you find it. To do this, I rely on such principles of Gestalt Psychotherapy as awareness, authenticity and relational attitude, with a significant emphasis on body processes.
