Creative Reflective Practice
What is Reflective Practice?
Reflective Practice is a confidential space for professionals to look at their work and how it is affecting them and their performance in their job. It support the persons emotional wellbeing within their role, and their professional growth.
What happens in a session?
During a reflective practice session we may give the staff members a space to engage creatively with their thoughts or feelings about their work, we may encourage them to create something individually or as a group with art work, objects or other creative tools.
A space will then be provided for anyone wanting to further explore their creation with the group, leading to a reflective exploration and supportive cohesive discussion, to further self awareness and improve their practice within their roles.
We may also use the reflective space to allow for calm. This could mean, breathe work, visualisation and simple techniques to ground, such as colouring or listening to music. A safe space for them to quietly ‘be’ and reflect on their day or week. This is especially helpful if they have had a particularly difficult time recently.
Why use reflective practice?
Within certain jobs, there is a great deal of stress and challenges that show up often. Most professionals take this home with them, they aren’t able to process it and it can fester into burn out or other mental health and wellbeing difficulties.
Offering reflective practice to your staff, gives them the opportunity to process stress and challenging events within a supportive group of people who understand their daily struggles, and a therapist who can contain it and keep the space safe and confidential.
More Information:
Groups are no larger than 10 staff members per session. I like to keep them small so they feel safe and contained for each member.
Sessions vary in length.
Reflective Practice can support better teamwork, clearer communication within the workplace, higher staff resilience, happier staff and better overall work.
Prices vary depending on the setting and the length of the session - please contact me for more information.
