🦋What is Drawing and Talking therapy and what are some of the benefits?

🦋Looking for help and support but not sure if this is the right approach for you?

🦋Drawing and Talking is a therapeutic, person-centred intervention that enables the person to express and process their emotions and feelings through symbolic representation and storytelling language.
It is suitable for children, young people and adults, from age 5 (there is no upper age limit), who are experiencing difficulties with anxiety, trauma or emotional pain.

🦋Some of the reported benefits of this intervention are:
Reduced anxiety/stress, improved emotional regulation and a calmer, more focused mindset.

🦋This gentle, non-intrusive approach enables individuals to safely process deep emotions without the pressure of talking directly about the trauma/root cause. 💛

🦋 If you, your child, or someone you know, would benefit from this gentle, non-intrusive approach then please do get in touch to discuss further.

To quote the words of William Wordsworth: "Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.”

It’s not easy not to feed those negative emotions when they pop into our mind and that 90 seconds can feel like an eternity! But it’s important to remember there is help and support out there to develop the tools and strategies to help you regulate your emotions, regain your power and know that you will survive it. 🦋

Sharing an image courtesy of The Contented Child, Child Wellbeing Consultancy thank you for such an important reminder. As a Drawing and Talking Practitioner, a Teacher and Tutor, being that safe adult for them is a privilege.

Did you know emotions only last 90 seconds?

That’s right — just 90 seconds from the moment they’re triggered… unless we feed them with our thoughts.

This tiny window is actually a big opportunity — a chance to pause, breathe, and respond instead of react.

An opportunity to use with your child to help them understand and manage their emotions with confidence.

Grab it now and open the door to calmer moments and stronger self-regulation!

Remember that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness, and the important thing to remember is that you’re not alone, help is available. 🦋
