The highest standards of accreditations in Europe.

GIS is certified by The European Association of Gestalt Therapy, The European Association of Psychotherapy and the Danish Association for Psychotherapy.

We are proud that we are among the best certified psychotherapist institutes in Europe. The certification is the key to quality, professional thoroughness and ethical integrity, and it places very specific requirements.

EAGT, EAP and PF – three important certifications

GIS is certified according to the Danish PF norm and European standards EAGT and EAP. PF is the Danish Psychotherapy Association, which uses the company Reflector to evaluate and certify the Danish psychotherapist program according to the Danish inter-ministerial indicative quality criteria. EAGT is the European Association for Gestalt Therapy, which since 1985 has represented Gestalt therapy in Europe. EAGT sets out a comprehensive set of criteria in order for an institution to be certified as an educational institution for Gestalt therapists. The requirements here are above the Danish requirements and they can be read in their entirety on EAGT’s website. EAP is the parent organisation of all psychotherapeutic branches of study, where EAGT represents Gestalt methodology.
