The dialogic relationship is a sacred relationship, characterised by deep respect and equality. You’ll learn that your role as therapist is not to try to ‘fix’ your client. It is to listen without manipulation, embracing them fully and feeding-back what you have heard. This principle of Gestalt dictates that when we are truly heard, healing takes place naturally.

QEC works to change limiting belief systems. The best way to uncover the core of the issue you’d like to work on is to sit with a therapist who understands Gestalt and who knows how to listen. Listening encourages your client to open up. In turn, they become more aware of things they were previously unaware of. Change is not possible without awareness.

This is a way of engaging with your client that notices the tiny things that can bring about awareness. For example, you may see a tear forming. This approach would lead you to say “I’m noticing a tear forming” - instead of “I notice you are sad”. The tear may bring awareness to the client who says “Yes, it’s a tear of frustration”. Sharing in minute detail is a very powerful way to raise awareness.

This is where it gets fun! You will be working with case studies weekly over the next 3 months, with non-paying clients.

• It’s an intensive, practical learning.

• Each week you’ll share your notes with your supervisor, so that they can offer the best support possible.

Each week for the full 3 months, you’ll work with peers from your group - using the sessions together to practice QEC.

Twice per month, you will meet your group and supervisor online to provide feedback on your case studies.

Twice per month, Dr Salmon will present a short lecture on a specific topic, e.g. anger. After the lecture, you’ll move into ‘breakaway rooms’ to practice, under the supervision of Dr Salmon and her supervisors.
