Elegant Title
Drawing and Talking Therapy is an innovative therapeutic approach that offers an alternative to traditional Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and direct talking therapies. It recognizes that some individuals may find CBT or direct talking therapies confronting or limiting when processing pain or trauma. Drawing and Talking Therapy, as an attachment-based intervention, is specifically designed to complement existing therapeutic approaches like CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) and other specialist therapies.

Adults & Loneliness
Loneliness and isolation pose significant challenges for numerous older adults in today's society. Advancing age brings various obstacles like the loss of loved ones, physical limitations, and changes in social circles. Consequently, older adults often experience profound feelings of loneliness and isolation, which can severely impact their mental and emotional well-being. Nevertheless, the utilization of drawing and talking therapy can offer a lifeline to these individuals, offering a therapeutic avenue for connection and healing
What sets Drawing and Talking Therapy apart is its non-directed technique, which allows individuals to discover and communicate their emotions in a unique way. Unlike solution-focused and cognitive-based therapies, where the focus is on finding solutions or challenging thought patterns, Drawing and Talking Therapy creates a safe space for individuals to express themselves through drawing. This creative process enables individuals to tap into their unconscious mind, accessing emotions, memories, and experiences that may be difficult to articulate verbally.
Understanding the Impact of Bereavement on Older Adult
​
Bereavement is an inevitable part of life that affects individuals of all ages, but it holds particular significance for older adults. The loss of loved ones disrupts their social networks and support systems, leaving them feeling isolated and disconnected. Practical challenges and the need to manage tasks alone further contribute to feelings of loneliness and depression. Drawing and Talking therapy provides a valuable outlet for older adults to express their emotions and inner struggles, which may be difficult to verbalize. This approach offers a lifeline for connection and healing in the face of bereavement-related loneliness.
