About the Gestalt Therapy Certificate

Developed by German-born psychiatrist, Fitz Perls in the 1990s, Gestalt therapy is a client centred approach to psychotherapy. The practice hones in on each person’s individual experience and assesses their state in the present moment. According to Gestalt therapy, the key to unlocking and fulfilling our potential is increasing our self-awareness and blocking negative thought patterns.

This engaging distance learning course has been specifically designed to teach students the key concepts of Gestalt therapy. Spread over eight informative units, this 64-hour home study qualification covers topics ranging from awareness, movement, art and sound, to working with couples, groups and communicating from within.
