Drawing & Talking
|
Drawing and talking is a safe and gentle therapeutic approach, which provides an effective way for children and young people (from age 5) to process the emotional pain or trauma they may be experiencing.
It is a child-centred one to one intervention focusing on supporting the social and emotional wellbeing of children and young people. Drawing and Talking at James Peacock is conducted by Mrs Henson. |
