More creative interventions - working with image and metaphor

Facilitator: Jo Hayes

Counselling can already be described as creative because it nurtures new ideas, perspectives, and knowledge. So, if you are one of those counsellors who says they are not creative, we beg to differ!

Creativity is one of several key factors in counselling, and this workshop is designed to help increase your creativity, build on your mindfulness, and help you open the door to other forms of expression which can extend the dialogue and depth within the counselling room.

Language can be a barrier as well as a gateway to understanding. Words can be misunderstood and incomplete, whilst images can help build bridges and fill gaps to further understanding. This workshop aims to explore the multiple ways counsellors can use creative methods and utilise image and metaphor to enhance their counselling skills and approach with their clients.
