Hi and welcome to Here, Now & How

I’m a Basel based therapist.
I'm glad you found your way here.

​

​Are you feeling overwhelmed by everyday challenges, experiencing anxiety, or struggling with patterns that keep repeating? If this resonates, you are not alone.

​

I appreciate how scary reaching out can be, so thank you for your courage. I offer a secure, non-judgmental space where you can speak freely and explore, together, how to live more fully in the here and now.

About

Orí Harmelin

I am a therapeutic counsellor, living and practising in Basel, Switzerland. I offer Gestalt therapy in English, German, and Hebrew, in person and online. I hold a diploma from the Eichgrund Institute for Integrative Gestalt Therapy, Germany.

 

I see therapy as a process of growth. Through my training in Gestalt, I have a relational approach to therapy that is rooted in dialogue. In this sense, we can create a space where you can feel safe to explore what causes you pain, what blocks you, and regain your ability to feel your own boundaries, your wants and needs, and to live more fully.

Here and Now

Only as I stand here and now, can I truly fully breathe. In the here and now I can be creative and inventive; seek and find solutions with open eyes and ears, give free rein to my grief and my tears, to my joy and my laughter.

And How

While "Why" questions keep us ruminating and can cause us to be defensive, "How" questions spring us back into action. We then become more conscious about what we are doing. This allows us to regain a sense of efficacy and self-responsibility.

I can help with

Anxiety

Anxiety can become overwhelming, gradually shrinking our world as we avoid situations that can trigger panic or stress. 

Depression

More than just sadness, depression can lead to losing interest in activities once enjoyed, impacting quality of life.

Loneliness

Loneliness isn't simply about being alone. Sometimes it's about feeling unseen, even in company.

Relationships

Difficult emotions, thoughts, and behaviours can negatively impact 

romantic, professional or family relationships.
