Toolbox Sessions - A Peer Space for Creative Arts Therapists

Toolbox Sessions offer a small, collaborative space for Creative Arts Therapists to gather, reflect and share what’s working in their practice. After a big break and some reflection, Toolbox is returning with a clearer structure.

Next Session: Friday 24th October

Theme: Working with Neurodivergent Adults

10.30 am-12.30pm

This session invites exploration of creative approaches to working with Neurodivergent Adults, including Autistic individuals, those with ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions.

These sessions are an opportunity to connect with peers, step out of the siloed nature of our work and exchange practical insights in a supportive, reciprocal space. Whether you are bringing a material, an idea, or something you've recently tried in practice, there is room for what feels real and relevant to you in the moment.

Please note:

  • Participants can log this as self-directed/peer CPD with their association if appropriate.

  • Toolbox Sessions are a collaborative peer space. This is not a supervision group. Briony is not offering supervision in this context, and participation does not constitute formal peer or clinical supervision hours.

Toolbox was born in 2023 as a casual, drop-in meetup, which was a valuable beginning but unsustainable long-term. This new form honours the care and energy required, offering a sustainable, relational container that remains accessible- the new price reflects this change..
