Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about our services? You're in the right place!
Question 1: I already use Gestalt elements or another modality. 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 alongside my caseload?
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 or supervision hours?
Yes. On completion you receive an Advanced Gestalt Certification signed by Dr Melanie Salmon.
