About GTB


Gestalt Therapy Brisbane (GTB) was formed in 2007 and took its first intake of students in 2008. Its Directors were Maria Vogt and Dr Greer White. GTB is a non-self accrediting higher education provider and is registered and accredited to deliver two higher education programmes in Queensland and New South Wales. It is also accredited through the Professional Associations of GANZ (Gestalt Australia and New Zealand Inc.) and PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia).

In 2011 GTB entered into a Principal/Agent agreement with Gestalt Therapy Sydney. As such, GTS is authorised to deliver the courses owned and developed by GTB. Students formally contract with Gestalt Therapy Sydney to engage in the programmes delivered at GTS and GTS accepts their enrolment into the institute. GTS then forwards enrolment application to GTB who formally enrolls students in the Graduate Certificate in Gestalt Therapy or Master of Gestalt Therapy. 

The formation of GTB in 2007 combined the resources of both The Gestalt Association of Queensland Inc (GAQI) and the Brisbane Gestalt Institute (BGI).

The Brisbane Gestalt Centre was established in 1980 by Yaro Starak, and in partnership with Maria Vogt it developed into the Brisbane Gestalt Institute (BGI).

The Gestalt Therapy and Training Centre established by Mac Hamilton offered its first programme in 1991. In 1997 the Centre was formed into an Incorporated not for profit Association, the Gestalt Association of Queensland Inc. and offered programmes accredited by the Minister for Education Queensland.   

Gestalt Therapy Brisbane is committed to ethical practice and teaching.

The Institute is a member of GANZ (Gestalt Australia and New Zealand), an association of Gestalt therapists and practitioners.

 

 

Our aim is to enable students to develop their unique therapeutic style and make use of their creative abilities as human beings.

 

 

Transition Puzzle

Artist Bekky Buchanan

The four puzzle pieces represent the two institutes, the Brisbane Gestalt Institute and the Gestalt Association of Queensland Inc in transition, merging into one.

The blank or fertile void piece represents a fresh blank canvas for Gestalt Therapy Brisbane to form and create something new.

We are all a part of the puzzle! and of course the whole is greater than the sum of its parts...
