Workshop Series | How Gestalt Therapy Can Enhance Your Counseling Practice

In counseling and psychotherapy practice, we often accompany clients through complex emotions and life challenges. Being able to attune to what is happening in the present moment, identify clients’ “unfinished business”, and transform these experiences into growth opportunities is a crucial professional skill.

Gestalt Therapy is a profound and experiential approach that emphasizes awareness of the present moment, personal responsibility, and inner integration. This workshop series will guide you into the world of Gestalt Therapy, teaching you how to apply its core techniques to enhance your counseling effectiveness.

What You Will Gain:

  • Enhanced Awareness: Learn to recognize both the client’s and your own bodily sensations, emotions, and internal processes to deepen sensitivity in your work.

  • Addressing Unfinished Business: Utilize classic techniques such as the empty chair and polarity dialogue to help clients integrate internal conflicts and unresolved experiences.

  • Deepening the Counseling Relationship: Apply the concept of “contact interruptions” to understand and overcome interaction impasses in therapy.

  • Self-Integration: Beyond counseling skills, this is a journey of self-exploration and healing, helping prevent professional burnout.

Course Highlights:
Comprehensive & Practical: Covers core theory, experiential exercises, and case studies to ensure applicability in real-world practice.
Expert Instruction: Led by Ms. Ho Li-Yi, an experienced Gestalt Therapy supervisor and practitioner, ensuring high-quality teaching.
Coherent Learning Experience: Both workshops are taught by the same instructor at the same location, providing a stable and immersive learning environment.

We sincerely invite you to join this Gestalt Therapy series and bring new insights and vitality to your counseling work.
