Exeter University Cedar Create: Exploring the Integration of Creative Digital Tools and Videogames in Therapy - 13th November 2025 (live, online)
In an increasingly digital world, therapists are discovering innovative ways to create accessible and engaging services for children, young people and families. Digital tools - including digital sandtrays and videogames - offer new opportunities to connect with clients in meaningful ways, supporting therapeutic work in both face-to-face and online settings. This interactive course explores how these tools can be integrated into practice to enhance engagement and therapeutic outcomes.
This training is designed for systemic practitioners and family therapists. It will also be useful for anyone that works therapeutically with children and families.
Teaching will be delivered by Ellie Finch, MA MBACP (Accred), who specialises in working with neurodivergent clients and parents and siblings of children with disabilities and complex medical conditions. She has a worked in a range of settings including CAMHS, schools, private practice, and local and national charities (including Relate, The Children’s Society and ChildLine). She has developed an innovative online service engaging children in counselling through videogames, such as Minecraft, and other digital tools.
