The Irish Gestalt Centre runs their Personal Development and Professional Psychotherapy Training Courses (IACP accredited) at Teach Bhride.

The one year Personal Development Programme consists of three residential courses, adding up to a total of sixteen working days. Participants work at a deep level in small groups.
Meditation, awareness, grounding, bodywork and dreamwork are all explored during this year of personal growth.
The Personal Development Programme is a pre- requisite for people who wish to train as Gestalt psychotherapists with this centre.

Diploma in Gestalt Psychotherapy
The programme consists of four main elements, which are essential and complementary to each other: theory, personal development, client work and supervision. Our training involves three, five day workshops and an intensive ten day workshop each year. A training group meets with the trainers for a minimum of 130 hours each year. Outside the formal training programme each trainee is required to be in on -going personal therapy for at least one hour every two weeks.[This can take place individually or in a group with a Gestalt Therapist.]

Process Oriented Psychology Ireland
Process Work was founded by Arnold Mindell, then a Jungian analyst, in the late 1970’s. It has its origin in Mindell’s observation that nighttime dreams both mirrored and were mirrored in his clients’ somatic experiences, particularly physical symptoms. He generalized the term "dreaming" to include any aspect of experience that, while possibly differing from consensus views of reality, was coherent with a person’s dreams, fantasies, and somatic experience, as well as the unintentional but meaningful signals that form the background to interpersonal relationships.

In order to help his clients integrate these forms of unconscious material, Mindell expanded upon the Jungian techniques of "amplification" such as active imagination and dream interpretation, by adding methods for working directly with nonverbal, body-level experience.

Process Work emphasizes awareness – the client’s and the therapist’s – rather than any specific set of interventions.
