Maurice Veale:
I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist with background training & experience in
Bodymind therapy. I offer Individual or Group Gestalt Therapy online &
in London, UK (London near Old Street, EC1, N1).
Currently I am only available for Online (video, audio) sessions.
I first qualified in 1984 and have been working with clients in Individual
Therapy for over 39 years. The Individual Gestalt Therapy work I offer
includes both ongoing longer term therapy ( Psychotherapy ) and short
term therapy ( counselling ).
I have been facilitating Experiential / Gestalt therapy groups for over 30
Years, both privately and for various training courses. Currently I facilitate
an ongoing online Gestalt therapy group, which has been running since
February 2022. Until then I facilitated an ongoing Gestalt therapy group
in Central London . This group met weekly (40+ weeks per year) for
over 15 years.
You can find some information about my approach to
therapy / psychotherapy in the "What is Gestalt Therapy ?" section of
the website.
Training & Experience
My personal therapy experience ranges over a period of 47 years
and includes extensive experience of Humanistic Psychotherapy
approaches to personal development ( Gestalt, Neo-
Co Counselling, Encounter, Primal Therapy, and Person Centred Therapy.).
Working with children, as a Residential Social Worker stimulated my
own development. From the mid 1970's onward I worked intensively
with Encounter, Primal Therapy and Neo Reichian therapy in a self help
therapeutic community, in Individual & Group Therapy and Training
Weekends (Reciport Co Counselling with Glyn Seaborn Jones).
Later I trained in Bodymind Therapy, a synthesis of Bio-
Gestalt and Primal therapies, qualifying in 1984 (Dip ABT).
After a further four or five years training in Gestalt Therapy I graduated
from the Gestalt Centre London in 1989.
I also hold a Dip. H.E. Humanistic Psychotherapy by Independent
Study (1988). This included a focus on collaborative group work
and two year membership of a Person Centred Therapy study group.
Along with these therapy approaches I also have experience of
more quiescent approaches that also promote insight and personal
development ( Insight Meditation, Relaxation Techniques, use of Imagery ).
I have had some interest & experience in exploring the interface between
therapy and meditation practice: in 1981 I undertook the classic three-
Primal Intensive combined with a period of extended Vipassana meditation
practice. Insight (Vipassana) Meditation was a regular part of my life for some
years. I return to it in an informal way, finding that it complements my Gestalt practise.
Like many Humanistic Psychotherapists I believe that supervision
and my own personal development work are important, providing
support and stimulation for my work as a therapist.
