The
Dublin Gestalt Centre, formerly Dundrum Gestalt Centre, has been
in practice since 1994 providing counselling and psychotherapy
for individuals, couples and families. It was established by
Claire Counihan, Kay Ferriter and Judy O'Hanlon. They each have
a background in social work and are fully accredited therapists,
IAHIP, IACP, EAP. They were trained by Netta and Marvin Kaplan
of the Nof Yam Institute of Israel and Vincent Humphreys of the
Dublin Institute of Gestalt Therapy.
Gestalt Therapy is suited to both short term
and long term work as its focus from the outset is on improving
the healthy functioning of the individual, couple or family. The
centre provides supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists
and other professionals in the helping professions. Since 2004,
it is running a
training course in supervision to the standard of IACP accreditation
for supervisors.
The centre provides training at postgraduate
level in the Gestalt approach
to working with individuals and couples. These one-year courses
are
experiential and provide practioners with the experience of the
Gestalt process and how to integrate it in their work.
Dublin
Gestalt Centre has experience in running workshops and training
courses for specific groups, designed to meet the needs of the
group. These courses may have a particular focus, e.g. dreams,
sexuality or some specific aspect of the Gestalt approach, depending
on the requirements of the group. |
