Welcome to our second PCI Graduates Investigates episode, where we will explore the 2022 Martin Kitterick award runner up thesis by Claire Ambrose. Her thesis title is ‘Visual Journaling: An Empowering Process to Support Emotional Regulation and Symptom Reduction in Trauma Survivors’. This is a very interesting discussion which explores the theory and research behind visual journaling and creative exercises, and its many practical applications in client work. We look at what might make creative approaches challenging for therapists to introduce, both for themselves and their clients. Claire gives some very helpful tips on how to get started with creative approaches both as a form of self-care and in our work with clients.

This is a recording of a live webinar we recently held for PCI students. We are delighted to host these as we want to highlight the quality research being produced by our fourth year students. The panel for this discussion includes Gael Kilduff, Head of Counselling and Psychotherapy and Shane Morrow, third and fourth year head.
