Drawing & Talking

Drawing and Talking Therapeutic Technique is a safe method of working with children to help with underlying emotional difficulties that may be affecting their learning and behaviour. ​Children will be encouraged to draw and will be asked non intrusive questions about their drawing. The child sets the pace and decides what to draw. Drawing and Talking is a serial drawing technique which takes place over 12 consecutive weeks. Participants will be expected to draw but no special artistic abilities are necessary. A child who suffers from moderate to severe symptoms should be referred to CAMHs. Fortunately, Drawing and Talking is also designed to complement the work of CAMHs, or other specialist Therapists.​
