Clay Field therapy is a sensorimotor body art therapy modality that supports trauma healing in children, adolescents and  adults. In this unique therapy, body movement and touch through our engagement with  the clay field, support the generation of new neural pathways providing  alternate responses to trauma memories. Working in a bottom -up approach and using senses and hands/body encounter with the clay field allows you to tell your story in a different way - often without words. This is an advantage particularly for children and young people who may not have the words to express their inner world.  It is also very beneficial for adults when the verbal storytelling is overwhelming..

It also provides practical self-help strategies that can support you achieve your identified goals and enhance your quality of life. 

CBT is useful in treating many psychological issues.
