Drama therapy is an embodied practice that is active and experiential. I have a person-centred approach: radical acceptance, unconditional positive regard with a non-directive stance. I strive to work with the healthy resilience of the individual or group, creating a sense of safety in the present so that personal challenges can be explored in a contained way. Whilst creativity is the foundation for curiosity and expression, the sessions are client led focusing on their preferred mode of expression. The work (with children and adults) is trauma informed and diversity sensitive. Restoring and encouraging agency is ever present

Life presents each one of us with many challenges & some very daunting circumstances at times. It may seem that you are in a maze, surrounded with several doors out. You have tried this door & that door, but to no avail. Sometimes you may just need another key as the keys you hold just would not turn the lock.
