DipHE Gestalt Counselling

... United Kingdom
... University of Portsmouth

Course Overview

Do you have a background in counselling or psychology and a level 3 counselling qualification? Would you like to gain the practical knowledge and interpersonal skills you need to pursue a career as a Gestalt counsellor?

Gestalt counselling (from the German for 'whole' or 'pattern') is a holistic, humanistic approach to helping individuals understand themselves, their motivations and their surroundings as a whole. Gestalt practitioners help to find new perspectives to problems to bring about positive changes in peoples lives.

On this Gestalt Counselling DipHE, you'll learn how to help people reflect on their current thoughts, feelings and behaviours so they can better understand their current situation. This can help them deal with relationship problems and mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and stress.

If you're in employment, this course can fit around your working week, with timetabled teaching taking place 1 day a week, workshops on 6 Saturdays throughout the course, and occasional events in the evenings and at weekends.

When you complete the course, you could top up your diploma to a Bachelor's degree. You could also work as a Gestalt counsellor in areas such as education, the police service, the prison service and the voluntary sector.
