An open, member-only conversation on the real questions behind your coaching practice
AC AMA sessions are not presentations or lectures. They are live, facilitated conversations where members bring what’s real for them right now – questions, dilemmas, uncertainties – and explore them openly with an experienced practitioner.
Have you heard of Gestalt coaching but felt unsure about what it actually is or how it differs from other coaching approaches? Perhaps you have come across techniques such as the “empty chair” or working with projections and want to understand them more deeply.
In this 60-minute online AMA, Dina Sabry Fivaz invites AC members into an open conversation about Gestalt coaching as a relational and experiential approach. Drawing from Gestalt psychology, existentialism, phenomenology, bodywork, movement, creativity, and systems thinking, Gestalt coaching explores what is emerging in the present moment rather than relying on fixed techniques or predefined models.
This session is shaped entirely by participants’ questions and curiosity. Depending on the discussion and group interest, Dina may also offer a short live Gestalt coaching demonstration during the session.
You can ask Dina anything about Gestalt coaching, including:
• What Gestalt coaching is and how it differs from other coaching approaches
• The role of presence, awareness, and relational dynamics in coaching
• How Gestalt concepts such as projections or the “empty chair” are used in practice
• Why Gestalt coaching focuses on process rather than content
• How relational and systemic perspectives support coaching conversations
• What Gestalt coaching can offer when working with complexity, transition, and uncertainty
You set the agenda, so the conversation will be organic, practical, and shaped by what matters most to you.
• New and experienced coaches
• Executive, leadership, career, health, and wellbeing coaches
• Supervisors, internal coaches, and HR/OD professionals
• Practitioners who are curious about relational and experiential approaches to coaching
If you have ever wondered how Gestalt coaching works in practice or wanted the opportunity to ask questions in an open and reflective space, this session is for you.
