Gestalt Coaching or Gestalt Therapy?

International Gestalt Journal, 2009. Marion Gillie & Marjorie Shackleton.)

This paper sets out the dilemmas faced by the authors and received wisdom of what are ‘professionally acceptable’ arenas of work for Gestalt coaches particularly when it comes to dealing with the emotional life of the coachee. We explore the following questions: • What are the differences between Gestalt Coaching and Gestalt Therapy and the resulting implications for the coaching contract? • What does the coach need to attend to when dealing with the emotional world of their coachee? • Is a Gestalt oriented coach more likely to evoke emotional responses than other ‘flavours’ of coaching? We offer both discussion and case study material which is intended to guide thinking and professional practice as each one of us attempts to make whatever decision is right in the moment for the particular coachee we are working with.

Coaching shame prone clients: synopsis

marion.gillie@TheGilliePartnership.co.uk (Marion GIllie) — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 10:48:10 +0000

(Coaching at Work, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, Volume 4, Issue 1, pp 44-47, January 2009.)

In the world of business shame isn't a word you often hear, we are more likely to refer to the fear of humiliation, a close cousin. Shame is that sense of sudden exposure in front of others coupled with an overwhelming desire to hide. Whilst we may not encounter shame-prone clients in our coaching work as often as in the therapy room, I think that an understanding of the dynamics of shame and how to work with it are highly relevant to our work as coaches.

Applying Gestalt theory to coaching: a commentary. Submitted to Gestalt Review, 2009

marion.gillie@TheGilliePartnership.co.uk (Marion Gillie) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:48:10 +0000

(Submitted to Gestalt Review, 2009)

In his paper, Stuart Simon describes the evolution of the "profession" of coaching over the last decade or so, and the relatively recent interest in the application of Gestalt theory to coaching. In this commentary I want first to support Stuart's assertion that "Gestalt theory easily lends itself to offering a significant contribution to the field of professional coaching" by drawing links with research and writing of other coaches who do not have a Gestalt background. Second, I want to explore a question raised by Stuart Simon but not answered: "what is the difference between coaching and therapy", particularly in the context of executive coaching where the work takes place within the organizational context.
