About us
KAIRE TALVISTE-BAIOCCO & OLIVER BAIOCCO
The founders of Estonian Gestalt & Training Center
We met in Milan, Italy, during an advanced international training on "Gestalt Therapy Field Approach to Development and Psychopathology." We share the belief that as a psychotherapist, counselor, or coach, one's learning journey is never complete; it is an ongoing, lifelong process encompassing theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and most importantly, a deeply personal path of reflection and self-development.
It has been an incredible experience to meet and collaborate with renowned gestalt therapists from around the world. We both come from diverse professional backgrounds, and gestalt therapy serves as our common ground. This enables us to draw upon a wide range of working experiences in various domains and positions, as Gestalt theory is not only applied in psychotherapy but extends to other fields as well.
"Gestalt is not an easy technique," as Fritz Perls, its founder, once said. "Gestalt is an art." It is a way of perceiving and understanding the world, a way of living. Existential and humanistic Gestalt is deeply committed to supporting individuals holistically in their personal growth, embracing them as they are, not as they should be. Only by accepting what is can we realize how we want to be.
This may sound simple, but actualizing it requires courage, commitment, and the power of endurance. Based on our experience and deep dedication to supporting people, we established the first center for gestalt education in Estonia as a meaningful next step.
We are realizing our shared dream and vision: to create a space for development, understanding, creativity, community, and support. Together with our colleagues from Estonia and abroad, we offer the opportunity to enrich your life and make it more intense, ultimately living a life that is truly worth it.
