Exploring Clay Therapy

Introduction to Working Creatively with Clay

Whether you’re brand new to clay or looking to deepen your creative toolkit, this introductory course will help you feel more confident using clay as a therapeutic and expressive medium. In this therapeutic skills share, Gaynor takes us through an emotive training around using clay in the therapy room. Gaynor has completed a Diploma in Clay Therapy which is accredited by PTUK and she is passionate about exploring client work using this medium. This training is a mix of PDF downloads, videos and text. You will receive a CPD certificate to cover two hours of training. Together, we’ll explore a range of creative exercises you can use in your practice or for your own reflection, experiment with different types of clay, and discover how this tactile, grounding material can support emotional regulation, storytelling, and safe expression. No artistic experience needed, just curiosity, a willingness to get your hands messy, and a love for creative exploration. Certificate: You will receive a CPD certificate for attending this workshop

Introduction to Working Creatively with Clay reviews

"I found this really interesting. It was good to be able to observe the group making their clay creations, and talk about what the creations meant or brought up for them. Also some great ideas to take away for individual and group work with clients".

Jane Burden

"A brilliant introduction to working with clay, ideas and considerations, practicalities. Lovely group activity "

Janette Dignan

"Loved this session, it helped me learn so much about not only the ways of working with clay with a client but also myself and feel I will occasionally be picking up clay as part of my self-care"

Tracy Dunning
Counsellor/Supervisor

"Really enjoyed this. Remember those mandalas when training as a play therapist, but never knowing which book they came from, so that's a real gift! 5 star :)."
