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.


Clinical Relevance


· Trauma and attachment difficulties · Addiction and compulsive patterns · Relationship conflict and family dynamics · Repetitive relational patterns · Grief and loss · Depression.


During the Training


· Core principles of Small Figures Work and integration with existing practice

 · Live demonstrations and guided experiential practice

 · Working with difficult relationships using figurines · 

Exploring relationship history for grief work

 · Mapping past and present attachments

 · Addressing unwanted repeated behaviours


This training focuses primarily on work with adult clients and can also be adapted for couples, families and adolescent work.


100% of participants from the May 2026 training said they would recommend this workshop to their colleagues.
