Therapy grounded in safety, connection and belonging
DRAWING & TALKING
Therapy for emotional wellbeing
Drawing & Talking is a gentle, attachment-based therapeutic intervention that helps children and young people explore their emotions through drawing, storytelling and reflective conversation. It is suitable for children from 5 years old through adolescence.
Sessions provide a safe, structured space where feelings can be expressed without pressure and at the individual's own pace. Over time, this process can help children make sense of difficult emotions, develop greater confidence and build emotional resilience.
Drawing & Talking can also provide valuable early emotional support for children and young people awaiting assessment or treatment from specialist services, such as CAMHS. This can help them navigate a potentially challenging period while complementing, rather than replacing, specialist mental health support.
