✨ Gauging Interest – Drawing and Talking for Mums ✨ (Long Post!!)

Being a mum can bring up so many emotions - from the overwhelm of early motherhood, to processing traumatic births, to navigating family life and everything in between.

•Maybe you're feeling low or are struggling with postnatal depression.
•Maybe you’re parenting while living with an illness yourself, physically or emotionally.
•Maybe you have a child who lives with a medical condition or disability.
• Maybe you’re struggling with the adjustment to becoming a parent.
•Maybe you’re single parenting.
•Maybe you’re simply carrying more than feels manageable right now.
•Maybe you're figuring out blended family life.
•Maybe you're a carer.
And the list goes on........

I’m exploring the idea of offering Drawing and Talking Groupwork sessions specifically for mums, creating a gentle, supportive space to help you process emotions in a safe and nurturing way.

I generally work with children and young people on a 1-1 basis, but I know how powerful this approach can be in supporting adults too, which is why I’m really keen to offer this space just for you.

💛 What is Drawing and Talking?
It’s an AMAZING therapeutic approach that supports emotional expression through simple drawing - using only a leaded pencil and white A4 paper. There’s no pressure, no expectation, and no need to talk unless you want to.

What to expect:
4 or 5 weeks - 1 hour sessions (possibly a little longer)
A safe, confidential space
Judgement-free, supportive environment
Small group sessions
Space to explore your emotions linked to babies, children, health challenges, birth experiences, and family life.

Absolutely NO artistic ability needed - stick figures are very welcome

This would be a calm, nurturing space just for you 💕

If this sounds like something you’d benefit from, please comment below, send me a message, or pop a ❤️ on this post so I can gauge interest.

You don’t have to do this alone 💛

✨️ Happy New Year ✨

The Year of the Horse reminds us of resilience, of determination, and the importance of moving forward at our own pace.

These values sit at the very heart of Drawing and Talking, offering a safe space to process, heal, and grow, step by step, in a way that feels right for each individual.

Wishing you health, happiness, and hope for the year ahead 🐎 🤍

“With a pencil and paper to hand, a child’s basic instinct is to draw, and by talking through this with an empathetic and caring adult, a child is able to process and make sense of the painful memories that may be effecting their behaviour, and in turn their learning.”

✏️ Would You (or Your child/someone you know) Benefit from Drawing and Talking Therapy? 💬✨

I’m looking to gauge interest in Drawing and Talking Therapy small group sessions for different age groups: children, teens, and adults in Arbroath.

As an experienced Advanced Drawing and Talking Therapy Practitioner, I offer a safe, supportive space where participants can explore their thoughts and feelings through creativity and gentle, non intrusive, conversation.

What is Drawing and Talking Therapy?
It’s a gentle therapeutic approach designed to help people express emotions and experiences that may be difficult to put into words. Through drawing (zero artist flair required) and supportive conversation, participants can process feelings, build resilience, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves.

Group Work Sessions:
🗓️ 5-week block
🕐 1-hour session per week
👥 Small group setting, relaxed, nurturing, and supportive
📍 Suitable for children, young people, and adults

This approach can help with:
▫️ Anxiety or emotional overwhelm
▫️ Low confidence or self-esteem
▫️ Bereavement, separation, or change
▫️ Building emotional resilience and self-awareness

What to expect:
▫️ A calm, creative outlet for self-expression
▫️ Improved emotional understanding
▫️ Increased confidence and communication

If this sounds like something you or someone you know would benefit from, I’d love to hear from you.
Your feedback will help me plan suitable age-specific small groups and times.

Thank you, Sally ✏️🗣

🦋Faster recovery from emotional distress

🦋Children can de-escalate from heightened emotional states more quickly, leading to fewer prolonged emotional disruptions.

🦋Drawing and Talking is a gentle, non-intrusive approach that allows children to safely process deep emotions, without needing to talk directly about their trauma.

If this sounds like something that your child or young person would benefit from, I'd love to speak with you!
