Becoming a Qualified Gestalt embodied Dialogue Coach
This is the opportunity to make a commitment to deepening your learning and develop advanced coaching skills to work at a more profound level and have a greater impact in a shorter time with your clients. You will also discover that this is an effortless way of coaching that creates flow and joy in you.
On completion of the Foundation Programme (or equivalent Gestalt training programme) and with 500+ coaching hours you can join the Master Practitioner Diploma. This is a combination of theory masterclass, virtual and F2F experiential workshops and virtual mentor coaching groups over a ten-month period.
There is support and mentor coaching from John and Duncan Coppock MCC throughout the programme and individual tutorials to help you prepare, when you’re ready, for the final practitioner assessment. The consolidation of your learning combines a theoretical essay that outlines your signature approach to Gestalt Embodied Dialogue coaching and through a case study that demonstrates your coaching capability.
This programme is accredited at ICF Level 2 qualification which includes individual Mentor Coaching and ICF Performance Evaluation.
Those who are already PCC and wish to proceed to MCC via the portfolio route can use the Diploma programme and MCC Mentor Coaching as the Coach Education.
