Originating in Germany and Austria in the early twentieth century, Gestalt is a school of psychology that is a highly effective and empowering change process for working with individuals, teams and organisations. Bringing greater awareness of how people communicate and relate to each other it provides a deeper understanding of what it is to be alive and human and offers those working in people development a powerful way of building relationships and effecting change.
About the nature of sensory and emotional awareness and paradoxical nature of change – the Gestalt approach integrates the cognitive, emotional and behavioural aspects of relationships and supports good communication and understanding.
How to better use observations of what you see, hear and feel in client systems and how people and events are systemically connected within organisations.
How to use the Gestalt Cycle of Experience as a dynamic model to understand individual and group development.
How to work effectively with resistance in the coaching practice by exploring the function of resistance and irrational behaviour.
Gestalt based coaching is underpinned by a number of interconnected concepts:
The learning situation is viewed as a micro organisation, paralleling many of the interpersonal and team issues thrown up in the workplace. Therefore, attention is paid to the internal workings of the group and learning points are drawn from personal and group experience.
Learning is shared through virtual faculty-led sessions and skills practise in small groups.
Your learning and development are always supported in a safe and comfortable environment to ensure you grow your confidence by working with your strengths and receiving personal and structured feedback from peers and supervision from faculty.
