Training Workshop

A Two-Day Experiential Training for Mental Health Clinicians

Working with Small Figures in Counselling & Psychotherapy

Small Figures Work is a powerful and effective experiential approach for the moments in therapy when words are not enough — using Playmobil figurines to concretise the client's inner world, accessing right-brain processing and making implicit experience visible and workable.

This two-day training invites clinicians to explore a practical and creative approach that deepens therapeutic engagement and complements existing ways of working.
