Does it feel like the teens in your life and school just don't care anymore?
That look of apathy and disengagement is more than "just a phase"—it's often a sign of deeper struggles like anxiety, depression, or feeling powerless. As educators, school therapists and counsellors, you know that reigniting their spark requires more than a quick fix.
The key to helping them reconnect and thrive lies in two powerful concepts: self-knowledge and awareness. When teens understand who they are and how to navigate their emotions, they can overcome apathy and find their purpose.
That’s exactly what the innovative courses, Gestalt Colour Therapy and Gestalt Dino Therapy, are designed to do. These courses use creative and engaging techniques to help teens break through resistance and achieve profound personal growth.

Voel dit asof die tiener in jou lewe nie meer omgee nie? 🤔
Hierdie apatie by tieners is meer as net 'n fase. Omgee is die konkrete manifestasie van hoop en die geloof dat jou eie lewe en die wêreld die moeite werd is om in te belê. 'n Gebrek aan omgee dui dikwels op dieper probleme: 'n verlies aan rigting of 'n onvermoë om oorweldigende emosies te verwerk.
✨Die vonk kan weer aangesteek word deur Selfkennis en Bewustheid te kweek—selfkennis die kompas wat rigting gee en bewustheid die brug na emosionele intelligensie.
Ontdek die impak van Gestalt Kleurterapie 🌈 en Gestalt Dino Terapie! 🦖 Dit is innoverende terapeutiese benaderings wat die tiener begelei om weer om te gee.
Gestalt Dino terapie: Neem die tiener op 'n avontuur van selfontdekking deur middel van hoogs interessante projeksies en metafore wat die tiener skep, waarin die beginsels van Gestalt-terapie 🪑 en Paleontologie 🦕 kreatief gekombineer word om weerstand te oorkom en uit stagnering los te breek. Ons volgende aanlynkursus vir terapeute is van 12 tot 14 Augustus 2025 van 14:00 tot 17:30 daagliks. Die koste is R1650.00 per persoon.
Gestalt Kleurterapie: 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️ Hierdie kursus bied 'n transformerende intervensie wat selfkennis, emosionele intelligensie en bewustheid diepgaande verbeter. Jy sal leer hoe om kleur te gebruik as 'n sagte maar kragtige instrument om tieners te help om onbewuste aksies, gedagtes, gevoelens en geloofs-hindernisse aan te spreek, weerstand te oorkom en hul spontaniteit te herstel. Sluit aan by ons aanlynkursus op 10, 11 & 12 September 2025 van 14:00 tot 18:00 daagliks. Die koste is R1750.00 per persoon.
Wat sê die kenners?
"Hoogs aanbeveel!" - Dr. Carel van Wyk, Universiteit van die Vrystaat. "Indiepte terapie... 'n persoonlike openbaring!" - S. Barnard, Forensiese Maatskaplike Werker. "Werk wonderlik met leerders wat emosionele uitdagings in die gesig staar!" - J. Herbst, Remediërende Opvoeder
Is jy gereed om die 🔥 vonk van Omgee in jou jong kliënte se lewens aan te steek? Kom leer hoe om kinders, tieners, en ook volwassenes te bemagtig om weer om te gee en hul volle potensiaal te ontsluit.

Shed the Masks. Embrace Your True Self.
Gestalt Dino-therapy is a profound journey of self-discovery, helping clients unearth the unconscious masks they wear to avoid real connection. This process doesn't just identify the masks; it reveals their origins, how they're held in place, and guides you toward replacing them with more authentic, mature ways of thinking, acting, and feeling.

"The Gestalt processes I learned from Stephan were a truly transformative experience. They taught me how to gently and creatively address deep-seated issues, bringing to light parts of myself I never knew existed." — Masha Bennet, Psychotherapist, UK

Gestalt Dino therapy is a complete therapy process for children and adults to discover how they unconsciously use masks; how their masks originated, and how to get rid of them.
During the therapy, they discover how they are trapped in the sediment of their past, how they unconsciously block their own growth, well-being and health through unconscious masks.
The individual comes to an understanding of what healthier, feasible alternatives exist for those masks that cause stagnation and develops self-knowledge, integration, energy is increased, and initiative is taken to take action to restore their own identity and self-esteem.
The next online Gestalt Dino Therapy course will take place, God willing, from 10 - 12 March 2025. Time: 15:00 to 18:00 daily.
Cost: R1350,00.
Students receive a certificate from the presenter and developer of Gestalt Dino Therapy.

"The cause of my pain was a mystery for 8 years, but during Gestalt Dino Therapy I discovered the root of my problem and I was effectively cured of chronic abdominal pain!" (Client)
"At the age of eight my son developed an obsession with strangling himself. During Dino Therapy we discovered the cause, which happened at the age of three, and corrected it." (Parent of client)
"It is simply mind-blowing and life-changing. The therapy is gold."

Skole beraders en terapeute, wil julle leer hoe om Gestalt Dino terapie toe te pas?
Gestalt Dino terapie help kinders ontdek hoe hulle onbewustelik maskers gebruik, hoe hul maskers ontstaan ​​het, en hoe om daarvan ontslae te raak.
Kinders ontdek tydens die terapie die ware toestand van hul verhoudings, hoe hulle onbewustelik hul groei en prestasie blokkeer, wat hul gedrag en optrede motiveer, hoe hul energie bestee word, en waar hulle onbewustelike vrese en sekuriteite lê en of hul pogings en prestasies werklik hul ware behoeftes aanspreek.
Die wortel van die kind se probleem word ontdek.
Gestalt Dino-terapie is geanker in Gestalt terapie waar die hoofdoel die herstel van bewustheid is, en sluit kreatief metafories aan by Paleontologie, die studie van prehistoriese lewe. Paleontologie versamel inligting oor die organisme se identiteit, oorsprong, antieke omgewing en evolusie. Gestalt Dino-terapie gee die kliënt perspektief op sy of haar geskiedenis en hoe om uit stagnasie los te breek wat deur vorige ervarings, eie optrede, trauma en die omgewing veroorsaak is.
Kinders ontdek tydens die terapie hoe hulle vasgevang is in die sediment van hul verlede, hoe hulle onbewustelik hul eie groei, welstand en gesondheid blokkeer deur onbewustelike maskers. Die kind kom tot 'n begrip van watter gesonder, haalbare alternatiewe bestaan ​​vir daardie maskers wat die stagnasie veroorsaak. Die kind ontwikkel selfkennis, integrasie en energie verhoog, en inisiatief word geneem om tot aksie oor te gaan om identiteit en selfbeeld te herstel.
Dino terapie is geskik vir kinders en volwassenes.
Die volgende aanlyn Gestalt Dino-terapie kursus vind plaas DV van 10 - 12 Maart 2025. Tyd: 15:00 tot 18:00 daagliks. Koste: R1350,00.
Studente ontvang 'n sertifikaat van die aanbieder en ontwikkelaar van Gestalt Dino-terapie. Die kursus fokus nie op die CPD-puntemark nie.
Getuienisse:
"Die oorsaak van my pyn was 'n raaisel vir 8 jaar, maar tydens Gestalt terapie het ek die wortel van my probleem ontdek en ek is effektief genees van chroniese buikpyn!" (Kliënt)
"Die Gestalt-prosesse wat ek by Stephan geleer het, het my begrip van die gebruik van metafoor en kreatiwiteit baie verryk om baie diep kwessies op 'n diepgaande en sagte manier te genees, en was persoonlik baie voordelig, en het aspekte van my bereik waarvan ek nog nooit bewus was nie. (Masha Bennet; Psigoterapeut; VK)"
"Op die ouderdom van agt het my seun 'n obsessie ontwikkel om homself te verwurg. Tydens Dino-terapie het ons die oorsaak ontdek, wat op die ouderdom van drie gebeur het, en dit reggestel." (Ouer van kliënt)

17/02/2025

My eie drome speel 'n onmisbare rol in my geestesgesondheid. Na my ma se heengaan was hierdie die eerste rou-smart droom van 'n reeks:
"Ek en Ma sit alleen in 'n motor in 'n verlate parkeerterrein. Sy sê daar is 'n man in 'n rolstoel alleen in die donkerte en ons kan hom nie net so los nie, ons móét hom help. Sy wil uitklim om hom te gaan help maar ek stop haar en sê nee dis donker sy gaan net seerkry - sy is alreeds so siek en swak. Ek klim alleen uit en vind die man in 'n verlate donker area - slegs die sterre se weerkaatsing is op sy rolstoel sigbaar. Hy wil aanvanklik nie gehelp word nie. Die droom eindig waar ek met inspanning hom in sy rolstoel stoot op 'n baie steil maar verligte sement-pad. Ek gaan nie weer terug na my Ma wat in die motor wag nie.
My droom se boodskap vir my:
Die vrou saam met my in die motor verteenwoordig my respek en bewondering vir my ma se geloof - sy het altyd geglo sy kan die onmoontlike doen en dan het sy gesê "omdat Jesus Christus my help." Die man wat uitklim om te gaan help (ek in die droom), verteenwoordig daardie faset van my wat, soos my Ma, die liefdes-drang ervaar om ander in nood te help. Die man in die rolstoel in die donker is daardie deel van my menswees wat sedert my ma se afsterwe, en ander verliese, soms soos 'n halwe mens voel, en vasgevang in die donker van rou. Die steil sement-pad verteenwoordig my steil pad vorentoe - die toekoms tegemoet sonder Ma.
'n Droom eindig nooit in 'n sinvolle slot en gevolgtrekking nie, want dit is die dromer se verantwoordelikheid om die slot te skryf.
Deur bewuswording is die slot van die onvoltooide droom tuis gebring in my gees.
Slot van my droom: God troos my deur vir my te sê dat ek nie my ma agtergelaat het alleen in die donker nie - ek het haar by Hom gelos - Hý is die motor op die parkeer terrein in die droom! Die sementpad in die droom, die pad na my toekoms, loop nie terug na my ma waar ek haar in die motor gelos het nie. Die man in die rolstoel - ek wat soos 'n halwe mens voel, sal gehelp word en aangevuur word deur die man wat hom die steil sement-pad help opgaan, naamlik daardie plek in my hart wat die goeie hart van my ma moet laat voortleef in my, om ander in nood te help en in liefde en Jesus te glo.

Many times a parent or teacher wants to know what a child's picture means. There is a therapeutic process with which you can guide the child to discover the true meaning of his or her picture through awareness. This increases the child's self-knowledge and helps the child to feel more integrated and to discover initiative and own solutions for his or her need or problem.
Not only children, but also adults' art can be of great therapeutic value for them with the help of this awareness process.
The Gestalt Curator Art therapy course is offered online, God willing on Thursday 27 February 2025; 14:30 to 18:00.
Cost R450,00. Register and pay no later than 21 February 2025 and then pay only R300.00 for the course. This is not a CPD points course.

The awsome human potential to heal

As a fellow human being, child of God, Social Worker and Gestalt therapist, it is fascinating for me to experience how children, teenagers and adults can overcome almost any debilitating existence-crises and condition. In my private practice, I facilitate primary school children, teenagers and adults using my unique non-confrontational and creative Gestalt programmes, for example Colour, Dino and Astro therapy, to discover their own potential and find solutions themselves.

Anyone can benefit from these Gestalt therapy programmes, whether you are suffering from depression, being traumatized, experiencing loss, struggling with eating disorder, being impaired by epilepsy, behavioral problems, aggression, lack of concentration, bitterness or poor health, to name a few. Yes, everyone can benefit from dealing with their problems, needs and pain with greater awareness, self-knowledge, responsibility and self-regulation - the goals of my Gestalt therapy methods.

I also love to share my experience through courses in my Gestalt therapy techniques that I offer to other social workers, psychologists, occupational therapists, counselors and educators.
