Our Wellbeing Sessions
Our Evidence Based Approach
We are a research-led organisation. All our work is based on the most up-to-date clinical knowledge and evidence base. We work closely with the University of Derby, engage in our own clinical research work, and are at the forefront of developing our sector nationally.
Our Creative Arts Sessions
Our creative arts sessions are fun and engaging, but they also serve a deeper purpose. Working with our skilled professionals means that with us the arts are a vehicle self-expression, personal development, resilience and healing. Our focus is on achieving individualised outcomes for each person taking part, not making great art work or learning a craft.
Our Process in creative therapies
- Building a relationship between our therapist and each person through playing, being creative and/or verbal communication
- Using the whole array of art forms, including drama, art, music and movement dependent upon the most appropriate medium for the client.
- Using the creative expressive model, focusing on positive aspects of self (both physically and mentally), enabling each child to recognise their individual strengths and full potential.
- Stimulating communication through voice, drama and sensory activities, repairing and developing trust in relationships with others.
- Providing less threatening means of exploring emotionally difficult subjects using the safety and distance of metaphor.
- Supporting children to recognise emotions in themselves and others, and encouraging them to express and explore these in healthy ways, reforming health attachments with people who are important in their lives.
Inspirative Arts uses creative expressive therapies to change lives.
