Gestalt Therapy Brisbane Pty Ltd (GTB) was formed to promote the Gestalt approach to counselling, psychotherapy, professional development, supervision and organizational consulting. In 2014 GTB received re-accreditation and re-registration to deliver its Master of Gestalt Therapy and Graduate Certificate in Gestalt Therapy for a period of 7 years from the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA).

GTB is built on the hard work and accomplishments of the two Institutes that existed before 2008, namely, the Gestalt Association of Queensland Inc. and the Brisbane Gestalt Institute. The Brisbane Gestalt Centre was established in 1980 by Yaro Starak, and in partnership with Maria Vogt it developed into the Brisbane Gestalt Institute (BGI). The Gestalt Therapy and Training Centre established by Mac Hamilton offered its first program in 1991. In 1997 the Centre was formed into an Incorporated not for profit Association, the Gestalt Association of Queensland Inc. It offered higher education programs accredited by the Minister for Education Queensland from 1997, namely a Graduate Certificate and a Graduate Diploma. It received accreditation to deliver a Master program in 2004. In 2008 the Gestalt Association of Queensland Inc and the Brisbane Gestalt Institute merged under joint ownership of Dr Greer White and Maria Vogt and created Gestalt Therapy Brisbane Pty Ltd. Gestalt Therapy Brisbane promotes the growth and development of individuals, groups and the community. Our aim is to enable students to develop their unique therapeutic style and make use of their creative abilities as human beings.
