Creative Regulation: Art Psychotherapy Approaches for Neurodivergent Clients with Sarah Falkenberg Hassan

This 3-hour interactive CPD webinar offers an exploration of Art Therapy processes that support emotional regulation in neurodivergent clients. The session will examine how creative, sensory, and symbolic expression can support regulation, insight and expression. Participants will be guided through structured and unstructured art-based exercises, practical therapeutic aids, case discussion and be provided a reflective space to deepen clinical insight. The webinar is experiential and participatory, inviting clinicians to engage directly with art-making processes.

1. Develop Understanding of Emotional Dysregulation in Neurodivergent clients
2. Explore Art therapy processes to support nervous system regulation, including symbolic expression
3. Learn to adapt Art therapy processes and ensure practice is trauma informed, and person centred
4. Reflect upon own processes and experiences within your own practice to broaden understanding.
