Welcome — I’m Alison Taylor (she/her), a Gestalt therapist in Toronto, offering embodied, relational psychotherapy for adults seeking support around anxiety, trauma, and the challenges of being human in relationship.

My practice invites curiosity, collaboration, and co-creation. I offer a non-judgemental and non-pathologizing approach to therapy — one that honours your wholeness, your history, and your capacity to discover new ways of being.

What Is Embodied, Relational Gestalt Therapy?

Embodied, relational Gestalt therapy invites you to slow down, feel into your experience, and explore what’s present in your body, emotions, and relationships.
Together, we bring curiosity to your sensations, thoughts, and movements to understand how you’ve adapted to your environment and what supports your growth now.

This approach is:

  • Collaborative and co-created, meaning we shape the work together

  • Curious and compassionate, exploring without judgment

  • Non-pathologizing, viewing your patterns as creative adjustments — responses that once made sense

  • Embodied, inviting awareness of your physical and emotional experience as a pathway to change

Areas of Curiosity

I work with adults (18+) exploring:

  • Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm

  • Trauma and relational trauma

  • Relational wounding and attachment patterns

  • Relationship challenges and communication

  • Disconnection, loneliness, and belonging

  • Sense of self, identity, and self-knowing

  • Wholeness and integration

  • Search for meaning and purpose

  • Creative adjustment and self-discovery

Therapy with me is about discovering how your experiences make sense — and finding new ways to support your growth, resilience, and capacity for connection.

How Therapy Can Help

Embodied, relational therapy can help you:

  • Understand your anxiety as meaningful communication from your body

  • Build capacity to stay present with overwhelming feelings

  • Explore how you relate to others and to yourself

  • Reconnect with your creativity, intuition, and vitality

  • Develop awareness, self-compassion, and choice

This work supports self-discovery and self-knowing, helping you move from disconnection toward a deeper sense of wholeness.

A Non-Pathologizing Approach

In my practice, we move away from seeing you as a problem to be fixed. Your patterns and responses are viewed as creative adjustments — adaptive ways of surviving and belonging that may no longer serve you as they once did.

Through curiosity, compassion, and embodied awareness, therapy becomes a process of integration: a returning home to yourself.
