5 Ways of Working with Artwork - Training Video

Discover how artwork can offer clients a creative and accessible way to connect with emotions, explore experiences and express things that may be difficult to put into words.

This approximately 2-hour instant-access online training with Pauline Andrew explores and demonstrates five different ways of using artwork therapeutically, with practical interventions and ideas you can take directly into your counselling practice.

You don’t need to be an artist – and neither do your clients. The focus is on the process and what emerges, rather than creating a particular kind of finished picture.

What you’ll explore

• Using picture cards
• Using symbols
• Working with parts of self
• Using fairy tales
• Guided visualisation
• How to introduce creative interventions to clients
• Working sensitively with clients who may feel hesitant or unsure
• Responding to the familiar “But I can’t draw!”
• Exploring the variety of responses that can emerge from seemingly simple interventions

Throughout the training, Pauline will guide you through the activities so that you can experience the interventions for yourself, helping you understand how they might feel from a client’s perspective as well as how you might use them therapeutically.

This is practical, experiential training designed to give you creative ideas that you can adapt and bring into your own way of working with clients.
