Creative Counselling with Adult & Adolescent Clients
This course will be of benefit to those who conduct therapy with adult and adolescent clients, individually and in groups. Therapeutic writing helps clients know themselves, and write their way to wellbeing. Participation in the training does not require any previous experience - or specific skills - with creative or therapeutic writing. It brings together a range of current literature on the theory, evidence-base, principles and practice of writing for therapeutic purposes. Among its unique features are our own dynamic Expressive Therapies activities developed and tested over the last 35 years.
Therapeutic writing within counselling incorporates reflection, followed by expressing cognitive, emotional, somatic and transpersonal experiences. This supports psychological, emotional resolution, and contributes to physical wellbeing, motivation and psychological clarity.
The course will introduce and provide opportunities for exploring a wide range of practical therapeutic activities for engaging adult and adolescent clients. Therapeutic writing is an expressive therapy that can be combined with the use of art, music and movement, and be safely incorporated into both face-to-face and telehealth counselling.
On successful completion of this course, you should be able to:
