GESTALT: Psicoterapia y Formación

What GESTALT: Psicoterapia y Formación does

GPyF (Gestalt Psicoterapia y Formación) is a privately held psychotherapy and professional training center founded in 2018 and headquartered in Madrid, Spain. It delivers individual, couples, children/adolescent, and group Gestalt psychotherapy from two physical locations in Madrid (C/ Puerto Rico, 32 and C/ del Príncipe de Vergara, 291) supplemented by online sessions. The organization also runs an AETG-endorsed three-part Specialist Training Cycle in Gestalt Approach (Basic, Superior, Supervision courses), thematic workshops on topics including Enneagram, Feminist Therapy, Masculinities, and Gender Diversity, professional case supervision, and customized workshops for organizations.

The core methodology is a 'process and feminist Gestalt' framework integrating Gestalt process accompaniment with an explicit feminist perspective, supported by related therapeutic techniques such as Enneagram, EMDR, Bioenergetic Analysis, Systemic Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and Focus-Oriented Therapy. The training franchise has reached its 18th promotion for 2026/2027 and is delivered by AETG-certified didactas and supervisors, several of whom also hold FEAP credentials. Supporting assets include published training manuals, a podcast series ('Conversando con GPyF'), and a multi-channel digital presence.

The business model is professional services: revenue is generated through fee-based therapy sessions, multi-cohort training courses, thematic workshops, case supervision, and organizational engagements. The company operates with 20+ professionals, maintains practicum and Master's-level partnerships with at least nine Spanish universities, holds mutual training arrangements with other Gestalt schools (Nelintre, ISURI, Aula Balear de Gestalt), co-founded the cross-city training initiative PTF (Psicoterapia Feminista y Transformación Social) operating in Madrid, Barcelona, and Donostia, and has signed an international collaboration agreement with Universidad Gestalt de México. Ownership is founder-led with no disclosed external investment.
