Expressive Therapies are relatively new tools for working with people. They are easily used because of the way they allow the individual to access the sub-conscious at their own pace and level compared with conventional congnitive and linguistic methods (or talking coounselling). They are self-balancing, self-regulating and non-intrusive.
Expressive Therapy techniques are applicable to children, adolescents and adults alike.
