Gestalt Theory and Process: Contemporary Perspectives for Clinicians
Live Webinar: Saturday 3rd Oct 2026
About This Webinar
Gestalt therapy offers a rich, relational, and experiential approach to understanding human experience and psychological change. In this webinar, Dr Lynne Jacobs will explore the core principles of Gestalt theory, including awareness, contact, field theory, organismic self-regulation, and the paradoxical theory of change. Participants will examine how therapeutic transformation emerges through authentic dialogue, present-cent red awareness, and exploration of the client's lived experience. Drawing on contemporary relational Gestalt practice, this session will demonstrate how clinicians can deepen therapeutic engagement, work with resistance and interruption patterns, and support meaningful growth through a collaborative and embodied therapeutic process.
