BETTER self-awareness and emotional well-being
Gestalt personal clients
Gestalt focuses on the present rather than the past, emphasizing understanding a person’s life context and taking responsibility rather than placing blame. Developed by Fritz Perls in the 1940s, along with his wife Laura Perls and others like Paul Goodman, it offers a humanistic approach centered on the individual’s uniqueness and individual’s unique experience.
Gestalt approach, derived from the German word for “shape” or “form,” emphasizes perception and how we make sense of our experiences. The coach creates a client-centered environment where the client’s truth is accepted without judgment.
In sessions, clients become more aware of their experiences, perceptions, and responses to events in the present moment, understanding that context matters. It’s about exploring the whole person and their current reality rather than dwelling on the past, providing support and techniques to enhance self- awareness in the present moment.
TEAM SUCCESS
Gestalt in organisations
The Gestalt approach offers a powerful framework for managing change and fostering creative, ethical, and sustainable solutions in organizations. It integrates principles from Gestalt therapy theory, group dynamics, action research, and field theory, providing a practical, action-oriented methodology.
By working collaboratively with clients, practitioners facilitate shared inquiry and evaluation of outcomes, fostering personal awareness and focusing on the present moment.
This approach emphasizes developing practitioner presence and utilizing field/relational and systems theory principles to address resistance and navigate interconnectedness within organizations.
The benefits of adopting a Gestalt approach in your organization include:
- Increased understanding and awareness of current and emerging situations
- Leveraging relationships to support change
- Strengthening key relationships between individuals, teams, and groups
- Inclusion of diverse perspectives in dialogue
- Enhanced resilience, flexibility, creativity, and tolerance
- Improved innovation and response to challenges
- Increased cultural and situational awareness, enabling better responses to diversity

“Antonija, you are a reliable, warm, attentive, empathetic person, and you are very professional. With your methods, in 3 months and through my various processes, I managed to get back on track in my life. And I know I can always turn to you. I would recommend coaching with Antonija for some very difficult topics as well as for some lighter topics, uncertainties. For every problem, there is a solution, and life doesn’t have to be difficult; that’s what I learned from Antonija. “

TESTIMONIAL
“Antonija listens, listens attentively to everything you say. And she hears you, she hears even what you yourself haven’t heard that you’ve said. Completely devoted to you. The questions that follow from that confirm and affirm that she has truly heard you, every word, felt every one of your emotions.
The questions she asks lead you to direct, quick, and truthful answers that you arrive at yourself.
That, for me, is invaluable assistance. Insights that I’ve gained with her have led to a change in my behavior and thinking. That’s exactly what I was looking for – to guide my life the way I want. That’s exactly what I got from Antonija. Thank you, Tonkić!”
