Aastha Kamra is a certified Gestalt therapist, trained in a humanistic and experiential approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes present-moment awareness, personal responsibility, and authentic expression. In Gestalt therapy, Aastha focuses on helping clients become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations as they occur, encouraging them to explore unresolved conflicts not by revisiting the past intellectually, but by reliving those experiences in the “here and now.”

Her therapeutic work includes:

• Using tools like the empty chair technique, role-playing, and guided imagery to externalize and work through internal conflicts.

• Facilitating deeper emotional insight by linking physical sensations and non-verbal cues to emotional experiences. 

• Empowering clients to take ownership of their lives by recognizing patterns of avoidance, projection, or unfinished business. 

• Through this process, Aastha guides individuals toward greater self-awareness, integration, and healing, supporting them in becoming more whole and present in their everyday lives.
