INTENSIVE ONE YEAR COURSE IN GESTALT THERAPY

AIM
This intensive course has been training professionals since 1992. It aims to give participants training in the principles and practice of relational Gestalt Therapy so that they can incorporate them into and apply them in their everyday work.

COURSE CONTENT

• The contact process in therapy
• Therapist and client support for risk taking
• The mutual relationship between client and therapist
• Therapists use of Self
• Use of here and now awareness
• Supporting the emergence of change

COURSE STRUCTURE
The structure of the course is to gradually build from experiential exercises and theory input to practising therapy. This is done with the help and guidance of supervision and facilitation and gradually builds from practising small segments of therapy to full sessions.

Participants will at different times work in small groups, in the role of the client, therapist or observer. It is in moving through these three “roles” that the learning takes place. The course will develop dynamically according to the needs of each individual participant.

Each two days of the course will give time to working in the larger group. Participants will get the opportunity to experience contact at the three levels of intrapersonal, interpersonal and the wider group system.  For people with an interest in going on to develop skills in working with groups this can be a useful experential learning environment.
