Drawing & Talking Therapy and Sand Play Therapy

Drawing and Talking and Sand Play Therapy is a safe and gentle therapeutic approach, in providing an effective way for children to process emotional pain or trauma they may be experiencing. 

Children and young people are impacted emotionally by many different events, struggles or traumas. Sometimes they are unable to make sense of how they are feeling and how those feelings are impacting on their happiness and ability to navigate the world. 

Drawing and Talking is a very powerful tool that can help with improving school attendance, and support a child with settling into a new school environment.

All sessions take place in your school setting and are delivered by an Advanced D&T Practitioner employed by Wokingham Borough Council.

This is a free service to all children from Ukraine, Afghanistan and Hong Kong

If you have a refugee child in your school and they need emotional support, then please contact either the Education Welfare Team at education.welfare@wokingham.gov.uk or please email aga.kudlak@wokingham.gov.uk
