Loving this cute gifted snowman from a pupil, he’ll make a wonderful addition to my counselling room over at Kings Leadership academy. He’s excited to hear that snow is on its way! ☃️

Carl Rogers' daughter, Natalie Rogers, developed Person-Centered Expressive Arts Therapy, a creative way of working that integrates her father's person-centered philosophy with the expressive arts. I’m super excited to be delivering this in schools in the coming weeks.
