$10.00 – $40.00
Existential notions of authenticity underpin Gestalt principles & practices. We are not trying to change people; rather help them become more fully themselves. Recognising and owning ones own ‘style’ - healthy & shadow - is inherent to this process.

The Unit of Work is a practical application of the Awareness Cycle in terms of a therapeutic session. The four distinct phases provide an orienting guide to the therapist in terms of managing the process, in any time slot, from start to completion.

Suicide is a difficult subject to address in therapy, and we look at it with a Gestalt perspective, starting with the personhood, experience, and values of the therapist.
$15.00 – $80.00
We view this complex topic through a Gestalt lens, starting with Field context, addressing the experience and personhood of the therapist, and the place of the Erotic. Awareness of sexual feelings is considered valid to address in the therapeutic dia

Gestalt does not have a developmental theory; any foray into a person’s Field is brought into the Here & Now. We examine a range of developmental orientations, attachment theory, other therapeutic modalities and their interface with Relational Gestal
$20.00 – $110.00

$15.00 – $90.00
Gestalt Therapy is a synthesis of many sources. Here we explore the people, systems of thought, and historical context, ranging through Existentialism, The Grotesque, the Cooperative Anarchism of Kropotkin, and the General Semantics of Korzybski.

$35.00 – $185.00
Therapy has come under fire as being too focused on the individual and not enough on larger systems. Here we address bigger contexts - community, politics, social change; how therapists can utilise Gestalt approaches to transform the wider Field.
$20.00 – $100.00
Addictions are complex and difficult to work with in therapy. We look at a range of approaches to understanding and working with addictions, applications of Field Theory, and explore an explicitly Gestalt model which is correlated with the Awareness
