Gestalt Coaching

Coaching is an empty word, a word that needs to be filled in with meaning. In gestalt coaching - as we shall see - it refers to imperfection rather than perfection, diversity rather than the norm, one’s own rhythms rather than the performance that has to be achieved.

Gestalt coaching could be defined - borrowing F. Perls’ definition of Gestalt - as “a therapy for healthy people”, a “therapy” for people who are so healthy that they no longer wish to live below their own potential.

The pages you are about to read may change your vision of coaching - if you have only ever heard about it - and if your vision is more traditional, they may integrate it. In any case, they may open the doors to “Gestalt” for you.
