Instituto de Psicoterapia Gestalt (IPG)

What Instituto de Psicoterapia Gestalt (IPG) does

Instituto de Psicoterapia Gestalt (IPG), founded in 1976 by Ángeles Martín, is the first Gestalt therapy center established in Spain and operates as a sole proprietorship under its founder Mª Angeles Martín González (N.I.F. 50393841J) in Madrid. The institute delivers psychotherapy services — individual, couples, family, adolescent, child, and group therapy — alongside specialized modalities including online therapy, EMDR, mindfulness-based therapy, addiction treatment, and sexual therapy, all grounded in Gestalt methodology that integrates phenomenological awareness, contact cycle work, somatic interventions, Polyvagal Theory, and trauma neuroscience.

The organization runs a layered education business on top of the clinical practice. Its core training asset is a three-year Gestalt therapist training program (with a new cohort beginning October 2026), supplemented by postgraduate specialization in Gestalt psychotherapy, child and adolescent Gestalt training, supervised practice groups, corporate training, and short-format workshops. Delivery is hybrid: in-person at the Madrid headquarters on Calle Agastia and online via the institute's virtual classroom (aulavirtual.escuelagestalt.com).

Revenue is generated from psychotherapy sessions, multi-year training program tuition, supervision groups, corporate contracts, and paid workshops; the first consultation is free as a conversion tool. Marketing is content-led, leveraging a substantial blog, SEO-structured condition landing pages, social media, and professional referrals. IPG holds institutional affiliations with AETG, FEAP, COP Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid Health Department, Europsy, and DEGESTALT, anchoring its position within the Spanish and European psychotherapy regulatory community.
