About Manchester Gestalt Centre
The Manchester Gestalt Centre (MGC) is a well-established hub for Gestalt psychotherapy and training in the UK. Based in Manchester, we offer therapy, supervision, accredited professional training and personal development rooted in the Gestalt tradition – relational, experiential, and grounded in embodied awareness.
Who we are
We are a collective of UKCP-registered Gestalt psychotherapists, supervisors and trainers, working together as a non-hierarchical team. Our shared ethos is based on dialogue, integrity, inclusion and lifelong learning.
Founded in 1988, MGC continues to offer a welcoming, rigorous and reflective environment for people seeking therapy, supervision or professional growth.
What we do
Psychotherapy
We offer individual, couples and group therapy for a wide range of issues including anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-worth, loss and personal development. Each therapist brings decades of experience and a relational, embodied approach.
Training
Our GPTI-accredited professional training is suitable for both newcomers and those progressing towards UKCP registration.
Supervision
Experienced Gestalt supervisors at MGC offer individual and group supervision. We support practitioners at all levels, including trainees on placement and experienced therapists seeking a Gestalt-informed supervisory space.
Workshops & events
We regularly offer experiential weekends, themed CPD events and creative workshops led by MGC therapists and guest facilitators - often weaving together Gestalt, movement, nature, voice and embodied practice.
