Dramatherapy is an expressive form of psychotherapy that uses action methods, such as DRAMA, STORY AND PLAY to help us understand how we can change ourselves and the way we live. It offers alternative and creative ways of communicating and understanding what is often difficult to put into words and at times overwhelming to deal with.

It is can be easier for some of us to find ‘our voices’ and explore how we feel using creative methods; movement, sound, metaphor, story, enactment, small object work, art, clay, puppets and mask.  The life/story connection can then be made and reflected on with the Dramatherapist. Talking and reflecting is also a welcomed part of the process.

Hello and a warm welcome, many of us experience difficult times when problems overwhelm us, and we need someone to talk to. Sometimes we need someone independent to our friends and family. I provide a safe, therapeutic, non-judgmental and confidential space where you can talk freely about what is concerning you. We can take the time to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours as well as reflecting on your life, relationships and work. Working together, we can piece together the reasons that causing your issues, and enable you to bring about lasting improvements in the way you feel which will hopefully give you a more fulfilling life.

If you would like to try therapy but for whatever reason are unable to attend in-person sessions, my hope is that you will consider trying webcam, IM or email therapy so that you can access the support you need to process your issues and build yourself a happier, healthier future.
