Equipping Professionals

Since 2016, Tembusu Training and Therapy has been a regional hub for therapists, counsellors, social workers, psychologists, and other practitioners seeking to deepen their work with children, adolescents, and families through Gestalt Play Therapy and creative approaches. Training workshops are experiential, theory-grounded, and culturally sensitive, equipping professionals with practical tools that translate directly into clinical practice. As an approved training institute with West Coast Institute (US) and Association for Play Therapy (Singapore), Tembusu offers a structured pathway from core skills to advanced competence.​

 

Beyond workshops, Tembusu provides individual and group clinical supervision and case consultation, supporting professionals in reflective, ethical, and attuned practice. Supervision hours can count toward WCI certification and professional requirements with local associations, allowing practitioners to grow in both confidence and credentials so that they can work more effectively and therapeutically with the children, adolescents, and families they serve.

Training Workshops

We conduct workshops that are grounded in theories but are engaging, interactive, playful and culturally sensitive. We specialised in training and equipping professionals to work clinically with children, adolescents and families.

​

Core workshops:

​

Basic Training in Gestalt Play Therapy (4 days)

Level 1 introduces participants to working with children and adolescents through the framework and therapeutic process of Gestalt Therapy through play and creative media (art, sand, miniatures, puppets and other tools). The workshop will explore factors that bring about change and growth for a child or adolescent through the therapeutic process of Gestalt Therapy and the processes of integration. 

​​

Intermediate Training in Gestalt Play Therapy (4 days)

Building on the priniciples introduced in Level 1, Level 2 will further examine the factors that bring about change and growth for a child or adolescent through the therapeutic process of Gestalt Therapy. By focusing the workshop on developing robust assessments, diagnosis and plans, â€‹participants will develop competence to work with clients more intentionally to facililtate change and integration.

​​

Advance Training in Gestalt Play Therapy (4 days)

Building on foundations from Level 1 & 2, third core training deep dive into the issues arising from shame, guilt and anger, powerful but often unattended emotions that underlie many concerns that bring a client into therapy. The workshop will explore these emotions and develop a working understanding of the the integrative and restorative processes in bringing about healing for our clients.​

​

Specialized workshops:

 

Using Sand in Gestalt Play Therapy I & II (2 +3 days)

After a brief introduction to the use of sand in Level 1, these workshops will expand the participants' capabilities to use sand effectively as a projective tool in clinical practice. From learning about the history of sandtray practice, understanding the symbolic process in therapy to application to clients from different age groups, participants will have ample opportunities to practice in small groups to gain confidence and competence in the use of sand.

​

Using LEGO in Gestalt Play Therapy I & II (2 +3 days)

​Open to those new to Gestalt Play Therapy, the workshops will offer participants a familiar but powerful therapeutic tool to use in therapy with their clients.  Leveraging on LEGO's universal appeal, the workshops will ignite participants' imagination to find creative ways to connect with their clients through collaborative and social play (Module 1) and use LEGO for therapeutic storytelling and projective work (Module 2). The workshops will offer a compelling addition to your clinical practice, building foundations for therapeutic change, one brick at a time.
