Unlocking and discovering the Power of Art Therapy Assessment and Projective drawings. Welcome to our Art Therapy Assessment Course, where creativity meets psychology.

Dr Anupama Bajaj -Ex DCS student will be conducting a workshop called ‘Art & Drawing in counselling’.

Drawings show ‘leakage from one’s subconscious mind’ and can be a powerful tool to understand clients’ subconscious and psyche. Seen as an important tool when working with children they can easily be used with adolescents and adults.

This workshop aims to teach the participants how to understand drawings and what to look for in drawings to achieve the task of understanding client’s world better. Learning will be through live demonstration, experiential process, and creative exploration.

The workshop is open to counsellors, therapists, teachers, social workers, and anyone interested in understanding themselves using art.
