Gestalt Center for Coaching

Gestalt Center for Coaching is the primary center serving the world for training, development and research in application of Gestalt approach in coaching and development of individuals, teams and organizations, and larger systems. We teach a Gestalt-based approach to coaching and consulting that incorporates cutting-edge developmental theories from thought leaders worldwide. The Center is founded on core Gestalt values which hold that it is the awareness of self and others, in the context of aware possibilities, that support choice for intervention and success. THE HEART OF A GESTALT APPROACH LIES IN INTERNALIZING AND APPLYING THE POWER OF AWARENESS. The Gestalt coach works with awareness to facilitate clients’ self identification of habitual, unaware patterns of response, particularly those that interfere with their ability to respond in changing situations. GESTALT COACHES OFFER CREATIVE EXPERIMENTS TO STRENGTHEN CLIENTS’ AWARENESS. Experiments interrupt habitual perceptual or behavioral patterns and invite opportunity. Gestalt coaches creates “safe emergencies” for clients that enable expanded possibilities and new choices. THE GESTALT COACH KEEPS CLIENTS FOCUSED ON WHATEVER EMERGES IN THE MOMENT. Gestalt approach uses whatever occurs in the moment as the existential ground for coach and client to explore and experiment with. As Kierkegaard says “be with what is, so that what is possible, may become”.
