What is Drawing and Talking?

Drawing and Talking Therapy is the number one alternative to CBT and direct talking therapies, that can often be confronting or limiting in the processing of pain or trauma. As an attachment-based therapeutic intervention, Drawing and Talking Therapy is designed to complement CAMHS and other specialist therapies.

Drawing and Talking allows individuals to discover and communicate emotions through a non-directed technique, setting it apart from existing solution-focused and cognitive-based therapies and interventions.

The Drawing and Talking courses provides everything needed to begin using this powerful and simple person-centred therapeutic approach, without additional specialist training. As a one-to-one intervention, Practitioners are trained how to lead a session in person or via remote facilities, so clients can receive consistent support even during extreme events such as a national or regional lockdown.

TESTIMONIAL

My daughter has just gone through these sessions with someone who has been trained in the school. She found them really useful in dealing with her anxiety.

Claire McCormick – Parent

I have completed this with six children to date and have seen such great results. Great intervention, I cannot champion it enough.

Claire Price – Teaching Assistant

I have seen first-hand the response of children who have completed a course of Drawing and Talking and the results are outstanding.

Gemma Williamson – Foundation Stage Leader

The Drawing and Talking enabled children, through an unthreatening medium with a known and trusted adult, to explore their thoughts, feelings and anxieties.

Head Teacher – Mainstream Primary School

Drawing and Talking has proved invaluable with secondary students who find it difficult to talk about their emotions.

Clinical Psychologist

We do use a number of therapy methods at the school but without a shadow of doubt, Drawing and Talking is by far the most effective.

Nicola Furey – Nurture Leader
