PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
In today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving world, organisations must be adaptable, versatile, and resilient. Success depends not just on business, technical, or management knowledge and skills, but on the ability to connect meaningfully, communicate effectively and navigate team and organisational dynamics to lead change with confidence. Relational and emotional intelligence alongside holistic systems thinking have become essential for leaders, managers, and professionals working with the realities of complex and demanding organisations. This is what this programme is about.
The Gestalt in Organisations programme offers an evolving learning experience that helps you recognise and make sense of what is going on in your organisation, create awareness, and generate effective contact, communication and engagement with colleagues, teams and stakeholders. This enables leaders and teams to manage transitions and change successfully.
The programme harnesses the power of the holistic, humanistic, and relational Gestalt approach, blending theory and experiential learning with practical skills and tools.
Designed for busy professionals, this flexible, rolling programme offers three courses that build on each other. You can join all three courses of the programme or start with the first one, gain your attendance certificate and CPD credits and return for more later. Both in-person and online dates available.
The programme courses are:
- Gestalt in Organisations: Core Concepts
Explore and practice foundational Gestalt concepts and methods, gaining clarity on how they apply to your organisational context.
- Gestalt in Organisations: In Practice
Delve further into the practical application of the Gestalt approach in organisations, develop actionable methods and tools to apply to your particular situation and work on your personalised development plan with tailored guidance to support your practice.
- Gestalt in Organisations: Masterclass

The programme is led by experienced tutors and renowned Gestalt practitioners who work with organisations worldwide.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
“The Gestalt in Organisations programme was more than just training—it was a transformative experience. It changed how I see myself, how I understand others, and how I lead. I gained clarity, confidence, and a fresh perspective that I use every day. The techniques I learned have become second nature, giving me the ability to stay grounded, make better decisions, and connect with others in a meaningful way.”
Director, UK Civil Service
“You’ll never see the world in the same way again. This programme helped me see beyond the surface to what really drives behaviour and change in organisations.”
