CREATIVE IDENTITY WORK
TBC
​
In this training session we will look at creative ways we can work with our clients and young people to better understand and support awareness of their identity and understanding of themselves. We will also spend some time considering the benefits of using creativity and art in the counselling space.
This hands-on, creativity-led session will give you the opportunity to share your own techniques while also coming away with new experiences to practice with your clients. We will be making use of collage, mixed media, pencils, pens, paint and other craft materials we have to hand.
​
During the course we will also look at the activity 'an island of me' and learn how to facilitate this with your own clients.

SENSORY AWARENESS AND MINDFULNESS
TBC
​
This training session will inform and prepare you to understand, be more aware of and create activities around the sensory systems. Sensory awareness is something that is integral to every human. During the course we will look at the eight sensory systems and how we can be sensory seeking of certain stimuli or avoiding of others.
​
We will discuss how this can impact on our clients, and our own, ability to be in the moment and fully connect with the counselling process. As an outcome we will look at the considerations needed and alternative methods that can help bring a sense of mindfulness and relaxation to your sessions that are accessible for all.
​
This is a really fun, hands-on session with lots of sensory experiences for you to take away and enjoy both for yourself and your clients.
