This module provides a solid 3-day introduction to working with Adults using expressive therapies. It covers both practice and theory and participants will be ready to use what they learn in sessions with clients as soon as they complete this module.

For those wishing to complete ETA’s Certificate in Expressive Therapies with Adults this introductory module is COMPULSORY. Whilst it is possible to start your journey of collecting modules with other options, the overall Certificate must include Module 1 (even if you don’t take it as your first module). If you have NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE with Expressive Therapies, I strongly recommend you start with Module 1.

This is a 3-day IN-PERSON training in SINGAPORE facilitated by Paula Huggins, ETA- Trainer, Trauma-Informed Expressive Therapist, Counsellor, WASTP-registered Consultant & Trainer and member of IEATA.
