Therapeutic Art Testimonials

(My Son) has been attending Drawing and Talking therapy sessions with Laura, and I have noticed some really positive changes. He is much more settled and able to discuss his feelings and concerns with me, which he previously found difficult to do. He also seems much calmer and more willing to cooperate in daily routines, which he has struggled with before. I would highly recommend these sessions with Laura; they have been wonderful for (him) to have an adult to talk to and utilize therapeutic art to discuss things in his life. This is truly one of the best client testimonials I can share. - Mum - Year 3 child - June 2021.

"We are extremely happy with the work that you have done with (my daughter) through drawing and talking therapy. The whole family has noticed a significant change in (her) approach and confidence in social and conversational skills, which we attribute to the impact of therapeutic art. " Mum - Year 2 child - August 2021.

I was impressed with how professional and easy the service was. Laura was reliable, easy to engage with, and always available for questions. My son hugely benefitted from the drawing and talking therapy sessions, and very quickly we saw an improvement in how he was managing to cope with his feelings. He began to communicate more within the home when he was feeling down. He enjoyed his sessions with Laura and clearly built up a trusting relationship. He was immensely proud to bring home his drawings, showcasing his therapeutic art, and would talk about what he had thought about while creating them. We now have a happier and more relaxed son, but one who misses his one-to-one sessions with Laura! This experience has truly reflected the positive client testimonials we’ve heard about the service.  Parent of a Year 5 child - July 2021.

"I’m going to ask Mum if I can do drawing and talking therapy again!" Year 5 child - February 2024. This reflects how much they enjoy therapeutic art, as seen in many client testimonials.

My 6 year old daughter attended a course of drawing and talking therapy with Laura after the loss of her father. She absolutely loved going to the sessions with Laura and would cheer at the thought of attending. She took great pride in talking me through her many beautiful, detailed pictures, and it was fascinating to see her therapeutic art reflecting her family and life. This process will help her navigate her trauma and loss. Mum - Year 1 child - April 2022.

"Mrs. Tunmer helped me when I needed to release my worries through drawing and talking therapy. Her approach, which includes therapeutic art, has made a significant impact on me." - Year 3 child, May 2023.

Attending drawing and talking therapy sessions has been very beneficial for my son, especially in helping him process things that, due to his sensitive nature, can otherwise be overwhelming and anxiety-inducing. Busy, often noisy school environments, while stimulating, can be too much for some children. For us, this is where this therapeutic art has made a significant difference, as reflected in many client testimonials like ours. Mum - Year 6 child - October 2024.
