Drawing and Talking is a one-to-one person-centred therapy that takes place over a course of 12 weeks, focusing on prevention, early intervention and recovery from emotional trauma.

Drawing and Talking is a highly effective therapeutic play work approach.

It supports those who are not realising their full potential either academically, professionally or socially.

The purpose of the method is to draw with a person they feel comfortable with at the same time each week.

The trusted person will learn to ask a number of non-intrusive questions about the drawing. Over time a symbolic resolution is found to old conflicts and trauma is healed. All questions are based on 3rd person fantasy world so not relating to personally with the young person.

Work with children needs to be carried out safely and non-intrusively, with respect for their own pace and state of being. This is why anyone using Drawing and Talking learns to stay in the world of the child’s drawing.

The child sets the pace and decides what to bring to the session.
