About the Course

Gestalt is one of the most respected approaches in modern psychotherapy. It forms the heart of QEC itself. For the first time, Dr Salmon has crystallised decades of Gestalt teaching into a live, advanced training designed specifically for holistic and complementary therapists across modalities.

  • Weekly live online seminars (2.5 hrs)

  • Small, intimate group (max 12) for personal support

  • Live demonstrations, two-chair and dream work, guided practice and peer partner work

  • Practical skills you can bring into your client sessions immediately

  • Certification upon completion

Gestalt gives you a deeper capacity to hold the sacred I–Thou space, so clients feel safe, seen and met. It enriches every modality with presence, relational depth and authenticity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about our services? You're in the right place!

Question 1: I already have a modality I love. Why do I need this?

Gestalt is the root of QEC. This training helps you embody presence and authenticity at a level that transforms your sessions. It’s not about adding techniques, it’s about becoming the practitioner your clients feel most safe with.

Question 2: How much time will I need to commit?

Expect 2.5 hours for the weekly seminar plus two peer practice sessions each month. You’ll also receive a detailed manual to support your learning between sessions.

Question 3: How is this different from my QEC certification training?

QEC shows you how to clear beliefs. Gestalt shows you how to be with the client – in authenticity, depth, and presence. Together they create profound, lasting impact.

Question 4: Is this training recognised for CPD?

Yes. On completion you receive an Advanced Gestalt Certification signed by Dr Melanie Salmon.
