Join UKCP accredited Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist and professional Puppeteer Alison McGowan for a day of experiential training in therapeutic puppetry.

• Create a puppet to play with and take away.
• Practice attunement through puppetry and learn how to help children to identify, express and regulate emotions.
• Experience the projective power of puppetry to externalise and transform problems using a range of puppets and materials.
• Explore using puppetry as a pathway to connection with hard-to-reach clients through experiential exercises and playing ‘in the metaphor’.
• Take-away practical tips and ideas for using puppetry for different ages of children and stages of therapy.

This playful and practical course is designed for counsellors and psychotherapists to extend their skills and understanding of applied puppetry in therapy.
