What is Drawing and Talking

Drawing and Talking can be delivered quickly and cost effectively by anyone who has completed the Foundation to Drawing and Talking training.

Drawing and Talking is a therapeutic intervention for children, young people and adults. It is designed as a short-term, time limited, pro-active intervention intended to complement, rather than replace, the work of specialist mental health services. 
 
Through a 12-week cycle of 30-minute one-to-one sessions, this non-intrusive tool allows children, young people and adults to process emotional pain resulting from trauma. The child or adult utilises drawing as a way to help them express their feelings differently from ordinary verbal language. 
 
The Drawing and Talking therapeutic intervention allows individuals to discover and communicate emotions through a non-directed technique. This is what sets Drawing and Talking apart from existing solution-focused and cognitive-based therapies and interventions.

TESTIMONIAL

This was the best training I've ever been on. It was so informative, engaging and interesting. It is so beneficial in that I'm able to take away a therapy/skill that works and use it with the young people I work with... The trainer was brilliant, so engaging, loads of examples and clear explanations.

Foundation Course Attendee

Highly skilled trainer, the training was engaging and coordinated perfectly, teaching methods were commendable, informative, memorable and at times very funny in the right way. This course has benefitted me in a number of ways, and I have no doubt of the positive impact it will have on my pupils.
