Time to Talk
"Painting a clearer picture of your Mental Health"
Welcome
To Time to Talk, a space designed to offer children and adults a calm, supportive environment where they can voice their worries and explore emotions through creative activities. Here, art therapy is combined with conversation, providing a unique approach to personal growth and emotional well-being.
EXPERIENCE THE TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT OF ART ON YOUR WELL-BEING
In today’s busy world, finding time to talk about the things that trouble us can be a challenge. When left unspoken, these issues can grow, often leading to heightened feelings of anxiety. However, talking can be a powerful first step toward understanding and managing these anxieties, helping us develop strategies to navigate life’s challenges more effectively.
Whether in small, collaborative groups or through one-on-one sessions, I believe in the power of art and conversation to help us learn, grow, and work through our problems. Alongside meaningful conversations, engaging in creative therapies promotes self-expression, builds resilience, reduces anxiety, and fosters a greater sense of well-being.
Hello,
I’m Debbie Tipton, a nursery and primary school teacher with over 30 years of experience, dedicated to helping children overcome emotional and behavioural challenges. Through my background in learning and technology research, a master’s in education, and diplomas in child counselling and art therapy, I bring a multifaceted approach to support children and young people. My experience working with youth organizations, including the Scout movement and football teams, has deepened my understanding of the challenges and anxieties faced by today’s young people.
