Why am I doing this?
Someone who cares about you has contacted me to help you understand all the things that have happened to you and all the feelings you have surrounding your childhood.  

Timings
A session will run for 1 hour. I will always let you know when we have 5 to 10 minutes left before we finish the session so that you have time to finish what you are doing.

Safety
Keeping safe is super important to us in the sessions, we won’t be using anything sharp just in case we accidentally hurt ourselves, we won’t touch each other and we respect each other’s personal space.

Confidentiality
This just means that whatever you decide to share when we are talking or using the arts within the session will stay between us. I will only have to pass something on if I think you may be in trouble or danger. This is called safeguarding and it keeps you safe!

The past, present and future
Past – we will explore all the things that have happened in your past, and the people that were around. We usually explore this through imagery, but we can explore this however you want!

Present – the feelings that you have right now are because of the things that have happened to you in your past. We can explore what these look like, maybe what they have to say and what they are hiding.

Future – it’s good to picture your future and what it may look like. In these sessions you will learn that how you deal with your past will shape what your future looks like.

Activities
The activities you will do will help you explore your life story — the good bits and the not so good bits. You can use the activities and art materials to ask any questions you may have about things that have happened, things you want to know more about or things you feel muddled up about. This will help the person that’s looking after you find out about the things you feel unsure about. Sometimes by ourselves things don’t make sense, but together we can make sense of them.
