My Approach

Ilmar Simanovskis | Student Therapist
I am a student in psychotherapy training, practicing with clinical supervision in the Gestalt Institute of Toronto. This website shares educational information and reflections. Services are offered only through the Gestalt student clinic setting.

My approach is grounded in Gestalt therapy, a relational and present-focused approach that pays attention to your thoughts, feelings, body experience, and patterns in relationship.

Rather than only talking about problems from a distance, we may slow things down and notice how you are experiencing something in the moment. At times, this may include paying attention to breath, posture, tension, tone, or the way you hold back, protect yourself, or reach toward connection.

This work is collaborative. Nothing is forced. We move at a pace that feels workable, and we stay curious about what helps you feel more supported, more aware, and more fully yourself.
