Preview

Gestalt Therapy is a form of counselling focused on a person’s here-and-now experience. By helping people engage with their experience, their feelings, and the people around them, Gestalt Therapy empowers clients to find solutions and solve emotional problems.

This course is suitable for professionals looking to add Gestalt psychotherapy to their repertoire, psychology students looking to learn the Gestalt counselling model, or anyone looking to apply Gestalt techniques to improve their wellbeing.

We will start with a complete introduction to Gestalt theory, including all of the core principles: contact, creative adjustment, awareness, paradoxical theory of change and unfinished business. We’ll cover field theory (understanding a client’s situation), how we become disconnected from our experience (interruptions to contact) before moving on to breaking down each technique used in Gestalt Therapy, building a relationship with the client and step-by-step what therapy looks like.

We’ll then apply Gestalt Therapy to a range of problems including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, substance use and more so you can see examples of how to use Gestalt Therapy to help clients.

The course comes with a comprehensive handbook as well as practical exercises to allow you to try out Gestalt techniques for yourself.
