Gestalt Institute of Scandinavia: Psychotherapist Trainee under supervision, Christian Schacht, academic year 2026-2027

My name is Christian, and I am a third-year psychotherapy student at the Gestalt Institute of Scandinavia.

For many years I have worked with people as a teacher, and I have always been drawn to what happens between people — our relationships, our feelings, and the changes life brings.

In my therapeutic work I have chosen a particular focus on loss and grief. I am myself in the middle of life, and I have experienced loss close at hand — loss that changed everything.

Loss is not only death

We can lose people we love. We can lose a love, a relationship, a dream, or an idea of how our life was meant to be. And sometimes we can feel we have lost a part of ourselves.

Grief can look different from person to person. Some are overwhelmed by feeling. Others sense almost nothing. Some need to talk. Others struggle even to find the words.

There is no single right way to grieve.

Meeting you where you are

As a gestalt therapy student, I am committed to meeting you where you are. Together we can explore what is happening in you — your feelings, your thoughts, your body, your relationships, and what may be hard to understand or put into words.

I do not believe we necessarily have to “get over” our grief. I believe we can learn to live with what we have lost, and slowly find out what life can look like now.

I meet you with presence, curiosity and honesty — and without expecting you to be anywhere particular in your process.

As part of my psychotherapy training, I receive supervision after sessions. That means I receive professional guidance from an experienced therapist afterwards — not during the session itself — so you are met with both presence and responsibility while I am still in training.

I am a student member of the Danish Association of Psychotherapists, and I also volunteer at the National Center for Grief (Det Nationale Sorgcenter).

The sensitivity, tenderness and professional support I got from Christian during a difficult personal process has been remarkable. He combines a strong presence with a sharp ability to name the unspoken.

Working with Christian was deeply meaningful for me. He has a way of creating space where I feel genuinely seen, held, and safe enough to go deep and explore what is mine.

There is both strength and sensitivity in the way Christian works. I feel his full presence when we work together. He is attentive to what was happening, able to guide but not impose himself. I trust him and have referred others to him. This trust allows me to explore places in myself that felt vulnerable and important. Christian brings warmth, skill, presence, and a real humanity to the therapeutic space.
