Take your work to a deeper level with Gestalt, the foundation of authentic therapeutic presence and clear clinical communication.
Gestalt is one of the most respected approaches in modern psychotherapy and sits at the heart of QEC.

Weekly live online seminars (2.5 hrs)
Small, intimate group (max 12) for personal support
Live demonstrations, case discussion and safe role play
Guided peer practice you can bring into clinic and on call
Certification upon completion
Gestalt gives clinicians a deeper capacity to hold the I-Thou space, enhancing consultations with presence, relational depth and authenticity while maintaining clear professional boundaries.

“This course has changed every aspect of my life and my relationships - especially the one with myself. Working with Melanie at this depth was a gift. She doesn’t just teach Gestalt, she embodies it. I feel more alive, more authentic, and more capable of meeting my clients where they are.”
— Nic

"This space became a rare and powerful container where I could show up fully, explore what it means to be human, and witness the raw, beautiful, and sometimes uncomfortable spectrum of life in connection with others."
— Kit
