CATCH-point's Creative Attachment Therapy Model is based on attachment theory and research into the effectiveness of creative arts and play therapies in healing trauma. Creative Attachment Therapy focuses on the parent-child relationship.

Creative Arts Therapies

Creative Arts Therapies formally describes the professions of Music Therapy, Art Therapy and Dramatherapy. Play Therapy is also informally included, as the important definition is that the therapy is based on non-verbal imaginative communications, with the relationship between the therapist and client as being key to the healing process.

Creative arts and play are linked to emotional and spiritual well-being and have been shown through research to be effective therapeutic media for healing. At CATCH-point we use Music, Art and Play therapies as part of our therapeutic programmes. No skill in any art form is required for parents or children taking part.

Creative Arts and Play Therapies offer:
• Secure and inspiring space to explore unsafe feelings
• Opportunities for non-verbal communication through a
  creative media
• A chance to develop a trusting relationship

Music Therapy offers people the opportunity to share explorations of their inner world through musical improvisations, usually on percussion.

Art Therapy offers people a chance to explore and share their inner world through drawing, painting or sculpting.

Play Therapy offers people the chance to explore and share their inner world through creating stories in an imaginative space, using a variety of equipment, materials and toys.
