The reality of the work setting is always addressed in practical ways. Rowan Studio leads the field in providing courses in dramatherapy, playtherapy, healing theatres, as well as supervision and consultation. Most work takes place in London and Somerset and occasional workshops and supervision in Manchester, Derby and North Wales. Most courses are facilitated directly by Dr Sue Jennings, others are lead by renowned International specialists, and others are co-led with experienced practitioners. Rowan Studio responds to needs and many of the current courses are specifically requested, for example as post-qualifying skills, or as a foundation or introduction.
Information is provided on the course content, assessment and level, on request.
Rowan Studio emphasises the importance of experiential learning in all direct work with both children and adults. It develops links between practical work and research where evidence-based practice is essential. There are opportunities to practice and develop skills in assessment, evaluation and research through creative methods within hermeneutic and heuristic contexts. Creative, developmental and social construction models are seen as complementary within client-focussed therapeutic work. Rowan Studio's longer courses are designed for people who can attend less frequently including those from overseas.
