A Safe Space to Express Feelings
At Petty Pool, Drawing and Talking Therapy provides a safe, gentle, and supportive way for learners to explore and understand their emotions.
We know that putting feelings into words can sometimes be difficult. This therapeutic approach allows learners to express themselves through drawing, helping them communicate thoughts and feelings in a way that feels comfortable and manageable.
Sessions are delivered by a trained practitioner in a calm and supportive environment where learners can feel listened to, respected, and understood.
There is no pressure to share more than they feel comfortable with. Learners remain in control of what they choose to express throughout the process.
