Creative Psychotherapeutic Group
They also have Turnways Therapies offering a 6 -12 week Creative Psychotherapeutic group intervention, where individuals can look deeper into ‘self’ and their identity.
*They can access this when they feel ready to do so but it is also not compulsory to do so.
Each person will be invited to design their own 12 week timetable with us (as full or as streamlined as desired). They can be as creative and/or as work focused as they wish. The aim is to unite neurodivergent people in a space that is designed by neurodivergent people.
In the programme, they aim to raise confidence and aspirations, They also aim to learn and help members to learn more about themselves and their abilities and capacities.
