PDCS Art Therapy - 'Tynnu Llun'

Tynnu Llun sessions

What is drawing and talking?

Drawing and Talking is a person-centred therapy focusing on prevention, early intervention and recovery.

Drawing and Talking Therapy sessions are 30-minutes, once a week for 12 weeks.

Providing a highly effective person-centred therapeutic play work approach, this tier 1-2 intervention is intended to complement rather than replace the work of CAMHS, art or other specialist therapists; enabling children who would otherwise go untreated to get the help they need before problems become entrenched.

Drawing and Talking technique is a safe and easy to learn short term, time-limited therapy to be used with anyone (age 5+) who has suffered trauma or has underlying emotional difficulties. The purpose of the method is to draw with a person who with whom they feel comfortable at the same time each week.
