A Personal Development Group offers the opportunity for you to experience what happens in a Gestalt therapy group. It’s a safe, supportive space in which you can explore personal issues alongside other people who also want to understand themselves better.
Who Is It For?
Attendance of this group is an excellent precursor to training in counselling or psychotherapy for participants who wish to further their knowledge and experience before deciding to embark on an intensive training.
People working in education, therapeutic settings, community developments, organisational work or any profession involving a high level of interaction may well find such a group useful on both a personal and professional level.
You can request a bibliography at the end of the course should you wish to continue your exploration.
Group Formats
There are two formats. Our Weekend Group is an ideal introduction to Gestalt methods for anyone. We also run a 10-Week Group for people who want to explore in more depth.
The longer format often attracts people who are thinking of using Gestalt counselling or therapy for personal reasons or considering training as a practitioner themselves.
Gestalt Group Work – What Is It?
A gestalt group offers its members the opportunity to explore personal issues with the support and participation of people also interested in understanding themselves and the vicissitudes of their lives.
By participating in gestalt group work you may find opportunities to:
foster your capacity to be imaginative.
develop a greater awareness of how you relate to yourself and others, including opportunity to explore identity processes.
discover the patterns you have developed for dealing with your life and decide whether these strategies have outlived their usefulness.
work with what are sometimes experienced as ‘difficult’ emotions, anger, fear, vulnerability etc.
learn ways of giving and receiving clear comments about yourself and others through understanding of your own process.
the regular meeting over time with the same group of people enhances the possibility of personal development and understanding.
About The Gesalt Centre
The Gestalt Centre is the UK’s focal point for the study and exploration of Gestalt therapy. Located in Camden, in the heart of London, we are a hub for inspiring learning and a meeting place for some of the leading experts in this vital field.
The Gestalt Centre was established in 1980 to provide psychotherapy training. Since then, we’ve grown to become a highly reputed provider of a broad range of Gestalt-related education. Today, we’re based between Camden Town and a redeveloped Kings Cross-St Pancras area in London.
Our part-time, high-quality range of training includes both UKCP-accredited psychotherapy and BACP-accredited counselling programmes, courses designed to meet practitioners’ CPD needs plus a variety of events for people who want use Gestalt personally or professionally.
Beyond education, we offer an accessible low-cost scheme of our own to help people find a counsellor or therapist. We also hire out meeting rooms, conference rooms, consultation rooms and training rooms at our accessible, and well-equipped Camden centre.
How We Are Run
The Gestalt Centre is a registered charity. We have a Board of Trustees and a Board of Directors. The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the organisation carries out its purposes and for overall planning and good governance.
The Directors (executive and non-executive) make decisions about strategy, the running of the organisation and oversee the work of the Psychotherapy faculty, the Counselling faculty and the management team.
Our Approach
We’re deeply committed to Gestalt theory and practice. We strongly believe that Gestalt is a positive force for change; that it can empower people to live life to the full by improving their communication, helping them to manage conflict and developing their creativity. At the heart of the Gestalt approach is:
Respect and appreciation for individuals, diversity and difference
A belief that we are all connected
Valuing of the awareness of self and others with integrity and honesty
Through participating in our courses our aim is that you will:
Develop a much greater awareness of yourself
Increase your presence in the world
Enhance your ability to creatively influence the context you are in
Appreciate that we are always in relation to and a part of our environment.
We will help you first understand how you might be perceived by others and then come up with a plan to implement strategies and practices for you to ensure you are taking the right approach to a situation.
We can provide you with highly inspirational and empowering training programmes to help ordinary people achieve extraordinary things.
