Paul Barber Email & Phone Number

Through my work as a psychotherapist, supervisor, coach, consultant and facilitator, I am committed to the development and education of the whole person, soma and soul. My aim is to empower individuals, groups, communities and organisations by working alongside them to identify strategies that honour their unique needs and visions.Gestalt is so much more than a therapeutic tool to help those experiencing difficulties in their personal life. Gestalt's championing of humanistic and Eastern values, coupled with its potential to conduct powerful phenomenological inquiry, has caused many of us to use it as a model for personal development, holistic education, research inquiry, organisational development, spiritual inquiry and much more.Many have described my style as high in support and challenge, and laced with humour. Rather than teach, I explore through dialogue and experimentation. Rather than isolate out facts, I look to the inter-relatedness of things. Rather than provide ready made answers, I raise awareness to the options.I am a Visiting Professor at Middlesex University (UK) and Nova Sad (Serbia), with over 30 years experience as a Gestalt therapist as well as training facilitators and group workers in private and public sectors. For 20+ years I've taught on masters and doctorate programmes, taught Gestalt psychotherapists and coaches, and supervised psychodynamic and humanistic psychotherapists, masters and doctorate students.Specialties: Gestalt informed group facilitation, team-building, coaching, qualitative inquiry, consulting, training group facilitators and coaches and consultants, supervising psychotherapists and consultants, supervising masters and doctorates.Anyone wishing to experience a days facilitated Gestalt Group (£75) are welcome to join me in Redhill, Surrey (see www.gestaltinaction.com) on the following Saturdays: July 26; Sept 6; Oct 4; Nov 8; Dec 20; and in 2015 Jan 31; Feb 28; Mar 28; Apr 25; May 30 and June 27.
