Hello, I’m Tako

As a Gestalt therapist, I see the foundation of therapeutic work in relationship: creating a space where a person feels safe, accepted, and understood. In this kind of environment, personal experience can be explored slowly, carefully, and with respect.

Therapy philosophy

Many experiences in our lives can remain unfinished.

They may be unspoken words, emotions that were never fully felt, interrupted relationships, or events we could not process at the time. In Gestalt therapy these are called unfinished gestalts, and they often keep affecting us: pulling us back into familiar emotional states, repeating relationship patterns, and inner tension.

In the therapeutic process, I aim to stay alongside the client and follow their lived experience, where emotions, questions, and awareness begin to emerge. Through that work, old experiences can gradually unfold, and a more free, authentic, and alive way of living becomes possible.
