The often complex issues that arise for the therapist in clearly defining the boundaries of confidentiality in the work with the child, while balancing this with the caregiver(s)’ need to have an understanding of the child’s particular challenges and needs for support, will be discussed, and the skill of when and how to have a conversation regarding this with the caregiver(s) will be practised.

The workshop will focus on:

using expressive therapies with children between 6-13 years
doing an assessment and case conceptualisation
how to identify the child’s preferred intelligence and working with that
hands on experience in working with sand, clay, symbols, drawing and music
working with the significant caregiver(s) to establish boundaries of confidentiality and what will be and won’t be shared with them regarding the work that is happening with the child
