Creative Skills Workshop - arts and play in client work

Saturday 3rd of February 2023

10am - 4.30pm

£95 - to include sand tray and play sand which will be yours to take home!

Venue - ECPT, 861 Holderness Road, HU8 9BA

As a trainee or qualified therapist, are you interested in practising and developing your creative skills?

I am delivering a one-day workshop looking at how, as therapists, we can effectively use the arts and play in our client work.

This experiential day will include:

• Gaining a theoretical and practical understanding of using creativity to work therapeutically

• Using the sand tray to explore the inner world

• Using Matryoshka (Russian) nesting dolls to explore the self

• Using metaphor, with the focus on fairy tales, as a therapeutic relationship tool

You will get the opportunity to practise your skills in a safe and supportive environment. And you will be able to take home your very own sand tray!

Facilitator: Helen Rowe - Experienced Children and Young people Therapist and supervisor. 
I am excited to be running this workshop at Ellesmere. I work therapeutically with young people from the age of four years old. I am also an experienced special needs teacher, having worked in various school and NHS settings. I am trained in play therapy and using creative arts with YP and adults. As a supervisor, I support other therapists in their creative work.
