Drawing and Talking Therapy

---

Drawing and Talking Therapy is a safe, gentle, approach for any child, adult or young person who needs support. Using this therapeutic approach the individual will be able to express unconscious thoughts through a combination of drawing and talking. A resolution is reached as the young person is able to address the way they feel about past events or current concerns. No artistic ability needed.

Drawing and Talking Therapy is a 12 week programme with a weekly 30 minute session. 

Therapeutic interventions, such as Drawing and Talking can help anyone who:

• Is experiencing anxiety, stress or phobias
• Is not realising their full potential either socially or academically
• Anyone experiencing emotional difficulties 
• Is feeling a lack of confidence in themselves
• Is withdrawn or continually unhappy
• Find it difficult to make friends
• Quarrel frequently with peers or siblings
• Suffer from disrupted or disturbed sleep
• Have suffered loss or bereavement 
• Family change
• Have suffered trauma
• Is a young carer
• Is socially disadvantaged
• Is suffering from the effects of domestic abuse
• Bully others or is bullied themselves
• Display inappropriate behaviour

Drawing and Talking is not a replacement for specialist treatment such as CAMHS, play therapy and other professional treatment  but can be useful as an interim tool whilst awaiting further help.

Suitable from 5 years old
