DRAWING AND TALKING THERAPY
I am certified in Drawing and Talking Therapy (a form of play therapy for children aged 3-11). Each session is 30 minutes long and it is advised that there are at least 12 sessions. I can offer sessions in a school setting. Many children do not have the words to directly say what they are feeling. During the sessions, children draw and talk imaginatively while developing their emotional literacy.
Drawing and Talking therapy is based, directly, on Dr John Allan’s Serial Drawing Technique which he has used in his clinical work. Dr John Allan was Professor Emeritus of Counselling Psychology at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. He is the author of numerous articles and books on play therapy and school counselling. His Inscapes of the Child’s world, Jungian Counselling in Schools and Clinics, a Spring Publication’s bestseller, received the Best Book Award from the Canadian Guidance and Counselling Association.
I work for the Wave Project in Dorset. At the Wave Project, we help young people to reduce anxiety and improve confidence through surfing! Our award winning surf courses are proven to help clients feel calmer, more motivated and better about their future. For more information on the referral process please contact me.
