      <image:title>About Gestalt Therapy - Gestalt Psychotherapy The historical roots of Gestalt Psychotherapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Gestalt Psychotherapy is a psychotherapy practice which originated from Germany. In the 1930’s Fritz Perls, and his wife, Laura Perls began to develop the approach which was later formalized with John Goodman with the publication of the seminal text, Gestalt Therapy: Excitement and Growth in the Human Personality. The authors observed the postwar years of the mid-20th century as being saturated with consumerism, mass industrialization and rigid anti-communism. They saw the danger of how classic analytical forms of psychotherapy could become a tool for conformism and social passivity. Rather, the Founders had a vision in which psychotherapy would restore its place as a primary agent for human freedom, social progressivism and a new potential for deeper passion, meaning and human satisfaction.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Gestalt Therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fundamentally, Gestalt Psychotherapy is premised in the relational. That means that the relationship between the client and the therapist is pivotal. Once a relationship has developed between the client and therapist, the therapeutic relationship becomes a safe container, in which you have the opportunity to deconstruct tightly integrated behaviors (for example, creative adjustments) that have become very much unconscious or conscious but we feel we are powerless to change. Through the therapeutic relationship you increase awareness of how you do life, access greater meaning and knowledge of self to allow you to enjoy greater freedom and joy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Gestalt Therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a Gestalt Psychotherapist, I employ a holistic view of you and consider all aspects of mind, body, emotion, past and present circumstances, spiritual, cultural, economic and political influences as potentially relevant. This holistic perspective holds that we are always in relationship with others, being shaped (with or without presence) and shaping, and we are always influenced by the weight of our historical relational memories.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Gestalt Therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Gestalt Psychotherapy is phenomenological. Put simply, phenomenology is a method where both the client and the therapist investigate the client’s subjective meaning and experience as it is, in the here-and-now. In other words, as a therapist, I stay as close to your experience as possible, without interpretation, to support you to explore and increase awareness of how you make meaning and sense of the world. One way of increasing awareness is through the exploration of your physical experience or bodily awareness. Bodily awareness is when we are able to notice things about our body which may include for example, the pace of our breath or if we hold our breath at different times, how our muscles may tense, how we hold our body in time and space to name a few. Bodily awareness supports you to move closer to the direct experience of a situation, rather than a perceived experience and is a powerful way to let go of unhelpful patterns of thoughts and behavior.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Hi, my name is Biannka Brannigan and I am a couples therapist and psychotherapist</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m passionate about helping couples and individuals understand the patterns that keep them stuck and develop the skills to create more authentic, fulfilling relationships. I hold a master’s degree in Gestalt Psychotherapy and a master’s in Community Development, which gives me both a deep therapeutic perspective and a systemic lens on how societal forces shape how we relate to ourselves and each other. I’m trained in the Relational Life Institute’s couples therapy method and bring insights from Interpersonal Neurobiology and the Inner Health Coalition Alumni into my work. Based in Far North Queensland, I offer therapy both online and in person. Read More</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Therapeutic Philosophy</image:title>
      <image:caption>I believe individual &amp; couples therapy is not only a path toward greater intimacy and connection with ourselves and others but, also a counter-cultural movement toward creating a more loving, kind and tolerant world. Through learning relational skills, self-compassion and emotional attunement, we begin to shift how we experience ourselves and others. This ripple effect—of curiosity instead of fear, empathy instead of judgment—extends beyond our relationships into our communities and the world around us.

      <image:title>Biannka Brannigan Psychotherapy and Counselling - Hi, I’m Biannka</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a passionate couples counsellor and psychotherapist. I hold a master’s degree in Gestalt Psychotherapy and am trained in the Relational Life Institute’s couples therapy method. I’m deeply passionate about relational education and supporting clients to develop the awareness and skills needed to build more authentic, fulfilling relationships. With a strong interest in neurobiology, I have studied Interpersonal Neurobiology with Dr. Dan Siegel and am part of the Inner Health Coalition Alumni, founded by Dr. Joe Dispenza. I integrate these insights on change and transformation into my therapeutic practice. I also hold a master’s degree in Community Development, which gives me a systemic lens to understand how larger societal forces—like capitalism, individualism, and patriarchy—shape how we relate to ourselves and each other. Based in Far North Queensland, I offer couples therapy both online and in person for those able to travel to my clinic. Outside of my clinical work, I’m a dedicated Ashtanga yoga student and teacher, regularly traveling to India to deepen my practice. I live on 50 acres of land, where I tend a regenerative micro flower farm—a grounding, creative counterbalance to my therapeutic work.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Biannka Brannigan Psychotherapy and Counselling - Why Gestalt Psychotherapy?</image:title>
      <image:caption>HERE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS WHY I AM SO PASSIONATE ABOUT GESTALT PSYCHOTHERAPY - WHICH WILL LIKELY GIVE YOU SOME IDEA ON THE VALUES I HOLD TOO: You are the expert of your life. As the therapist, my role is to guide you back to yourself. It is process driven. We focus on how you do life, not the content.  In other words, we don’t just talk about it, we look at the how and why. It is based in the here-and-now. Gestalt was ahead of its time in so many things including this one, in that it brings us back to the present moment. To change, all you need to do is become more of who you are now. This is beautiful because too often we want to remove parts of ourselves and/or change who we are. Gestalt Psychotherapy recognizes that in our brilliance to protect ourselves from the sometimes overwhelming experiences throughout our lives, we have made creative adjustments.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Biannka Brannigan Psychotherapy and Counselling - I LIKE TO KNOW THE ‘WHY AND HOW’ BEHIND BEHAVIOUR AND ACTIONS FROM BOTH A PERSONAL/INDIVIDUAL PERSPECTIVE TO LARGER SOCIETAL TRENDS AND INFLUENCES AND HOW THESE ALL INTERSECT AND CREATE THE GLORIOUS HUMAN BEINGS WE ARE.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have experienced many things in my life which have shaped the way I think and have further driven my interest in the human experience.  I hold relationships dear to my heart and I believe that having awareness of ourselves and the skills to navigate relationships are foundational to creating more peace and joy.  I am both an Ashtanga yoga student and teacher and I travel to spend time with my teachers both here in Australia and India, as often as I can.  The Ashtanga yoga practice for me is like coming home to myself and I have learnt so much about how I “do” life by simply rolling out my mat every day.  I have the honour of living on a decent size patch of land in Far North Queensland where I tend to my micro flower farm which tends to keep me grounded and connected to nature.
