Bronagh Starrs: Working with an adolescent in a gestalt approach
We offer a 5-part seminar series on the topic of youth work.
This series of workshops encourages Gestalt therapists to deepen their clinical presence, creativity and ability to address the most pressing issues facing young people in contemporary practice. Each workshop combines theory, experiential learning and practical interventions based on Gestalt principles.
