Gestalt Therapy Foundation Course Oct 2019-July 2020

Zellig Building, Custard Factory, Digbeth, 
Birmingham B9 4AT

This experiential one-year weekend modular training serves as a solid foundation for those wishing to study this lively and enthralling therapy. The training is designed to appeal to those beginning working towards BACP Accreditation or UKCP Registration whilst also satisfying those who wish to take individual workshops as Continued Professional Development.
 
Non-pathologising, radical and situational in emphasis, Gestalt Therapy embodies a compassionate and holistic stance that views a person within their context, hence, Gestalt is a truly relational therapy.
 
The part time course commences 4th-6th October 2019 and is designed to appeal to anyone with an interest in Gestalt practice, including but not exclusively those with:
  • An existing qualification in integrative counselling/psychotherapy
  • Experience in the field of psychological therapy
  • Interest in the field of organisational consultancy and/or community development
  • Those working in fields such as mental health or social work
  • A need for CPD around specific themes or desire for personal development


What is the Foundation Course about?
Specific areas that will be covered will include:
  • History and development of Gestalt Therapy
  • Theoretical assumptions
  • Application of theory to practice
  • Conceptualisation of psychological health and disturbance
  • Nature of the therapeutic relationship
 

The course will both clarify the distinctive aspects of Gestalt practice while maintaining a clear basis for how Gestalt can integrate with other modalities practiced by participants.

·       Contact and Awareness, Introjection and an introduction to moderations to contact
