Dramatherapy is a safe, non-judgmental and non-confrontational way of exploring and reflecting on experiences and feelings. It is not about performing or being good at drama. It is a personal journey into self-discovery and wholeness that reaches deep within one’s soul. It is based less on talking and more on using the imagination and the body. It provides the opportunity to try out new ways of getting in touch with oneself and interacting with other people. It can help you to discover the ability that lies within you to be creative and playful.
Dramatherapy can creatively help people to express that, which may not be known primarily through talking. Some aspects of how we feel and react are so painful that they simply cannot be voiced. Yet, we can allow ourselves to create and play out another distinct but related story, and so discover a source of healing.
I prefer to work beyond the labels of mental health diagnosis and meet you as you are, without judgement. Our journey towards wholeness will focus on what is healthy and alive in you rather than illness.

In our first session, I will get to know you and explore what brought you to therapy. In the second session I will guide you to explore creatively. As all trauma is held in the body, we may find ways to connect indirectly to body work in order to enable healing.
