5 Ways of Working with Gestalt
Gestalt is an experiential, embodied, here-and-now way of working that can profoundly shape and deepen the client–counsellor relationship. In this training, you’ll experience Gestalt principles in action through simple, practical interventions you can bring straight into your practice, including:
- Micro-processing awareness
- Mapping the boundaries of your world
- The dialogic encounter
- Unfinished business
- Working with polarities
Creative, experiential exercises will underpin the day, and Buddy Groups in breakout rooms will give you plenty of opportunity to explore what you noticed, share your experience, and practise with one another in a supportive environment.
This is not just theory. Gestalt can change the way you see life — bringing new recognition of what you’ve been carrying emotionally and in your body, and supporting the release of patterns that may be holding you back.
Come for yourself… come for your client.
Pauline says:
“Gestalt Theory transformed the way I work with clients, deepening our relationship and bringing revelation and understanding to us both. It is a mutual way of working — gently ‘building the road as we travel’ — and learning together from each other.”
