Children and Young People may need different approaches. Here are some examples:
Art therapy
Art is used for creative expression. This aims to reduce distress and improve social, emotional and mental health by promoting insight, self-compassion and a sense of self-worth.
Sand tray
Sand tray therapy is an expressive, hands‑on therapeutic approach where clients use sand and miniature objects to create scenes that symbolically express emotions, memories, and inner experiences, making it especially effective for trauma, grief, anxiety, and nonverbal emotional processing.
Puppets
Puppet therapy is an expressive therapeutic approach that uses puppets to help children and adults communicate emotions, process experiences, and support psychological healing, often by creating safe emotional distance for difficult feelings.
