GST Gesellschaft für Systemische Therapie und Beratung München GmbH

What GST Gesellschaft für Systemische Therapie und Beratung München GmbH does

GST Gesellschaft für Systemische Therapie und Beratung München GmbH is a Munich-based, DGSF-accredited private training institute (GmbH) founded in Berlin in 1998 and operating in Munich since 2000. It delivers professional education programs in systemic therapy, counseling, and couple therapy, structured around three core DGSF-certified tracks: Systemische Beratung (570 teaching units, two sections, €5,988 total), Systemische Therapie (900 teaching units, three sections, €8,982 total), and Systemische Paartherapie (380 teaching units, 12-month masterclass, €3,800 / €3,500 early bird). All programs follow DGSF guidelines and lead to recognized 'Systemischer Berater (DGSF)', 'Systemischer Therapeut und Familientherapeut (DGSF)', or 'Systemischer Paartherapeut und -berater (DGSF)' certifications. The curriculum takes an integrative approach, combining eight systemic schools (strategic, structural, circular, intergenerational, experiential, narrative, phenomenological, solution-resource-oriented) and emphasizes the integration of methodology with participants' own life histories through extensive Selbsterfahrung (self-experience) components.

The business model is fee-for-service professional training, with tuition structured per training section, payable annually or in monthly installments via SEPA direct debit, and qualified as tax-exempt educational services under § 4 Nr. 21a bb UStG. Revenue is generated almost entirely from these tuition fees plus ancillary income from individual seminars, workshops, retreats (e.g., hypnosis, IFS, yoga), and supervision evenings. The customer base consists of individual professionals — early-career psychosocial practitioners, experienced coaches seeking systemic competencies, and certified therapists pursuing couple therapy specialization — rather than enterprise clients. Go-to-market relies on quarterly information evenings (Infoabende) held in-person at the Nymphenburg seminar rooms and online via MS Teams, supplemented by the website, brochures, and a newsletter; community engagement is reinforced through the annual Sommerfest and ongoing supervision/Vertiefungsabende.

The institute operates with a small team of approximately 13 employees, including an interdisciplinary trainer network of nine credentialed professionals led by Institute Director Malte Müller-Egloff. Delivery uses two owned seminar rooms in Munich (Hubertusstraße 22 and Kolosseumstraße 1) plus partner seminar houses (Studienhaus Schönwag, Gut Sedlbrunn) for residential Selbsterfahrung components. The organization is founder/management-owned with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or subsidiaries; it is accredited by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Systemische Therapie und Familientherapie (DGSF) and partners strategically with syscoach for its couple therapy masterclass. Approximately 3,000 individuals have been trained under DGSF guidelines since founding.
