About this event
This webinar will focus on the “I Don’t Know” client and offer tools and interventions that can help.
This webinar will be for all but of particular interest to new counsellors and trainees who experience fear and anger whilst a client is constantly stuck with an “I don’t know” statement.
Learn how you can support a client in exploring what might need to change. The “I Don’t Know” client fears speaking their truth and regresses to a safe space and old coping strategies (creative adjustment, in Gestalt terms).
Bring your own or your clients’ stuck-ness and see how this is a cognitive/fear-based dynamic.
Your stuck-ness with such clients can be referred to as a projective identification.
If something bubbles up for you within any of Stefan’s webinars that you may wish to explore further on a one-to-one basis, you can contact Stefan via charidge@gmail.com and arrange a one-off session.
Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event
- You will have additional tools and interventions to help with such fear-based clients.
- There is a want for change, but the client is unable to speak it. For fear of rejection (a judgement, assessment or diagnosis).
- Support greater intimacy (In-To-Me-See) within the work.
Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?
- All practitioners.
How May This Workshop Impact Your Practice?
- This will offer more tools and options to help clients overcome their stuckness (fixed Gestalts) within the sessions.

Stefan Charidge
Stefan is a UK Gestalt therapist, counselling supervisor, international trainer, and facilitator with over 24 years of experience. He has delivered training on various topics within many environments.
An experienced group facilitator, he started a men’s group in Hampshire many years ago, which was eventually run by attendees after moving out of the area.
He started training as a Gestalt Counsellor in the late 90s and has since obtained his BACP accreditation and supervision qualification, as well as additional skills and training with other creative ways of working and coaching. He completed his MKP weekend on a cold November 2002 at Sopley UK. In addition to this, he has had extensive training in “Shadow Work” (Cliff Berries Model).
Over the years, he has blended and developed his own accessible style and modality of working, which he offers within his webinars and workshops globally.
He is the author of the book called “The Penny Model”. It is written with young men in mind and is not an academic book (whilst being involved with “A Band of Brothers”, a young men’s support programme originating in Sussex, UK). The penny model focuses on the four core emotions of Joy, Fear, Sadness, and Anger and explains that there is a fifth “Shame”, which can only be experienced if supported by one or more of the four core emotions.
