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

My psychotherapeutic stance is accepting and judgment-free. The therapeutic relationship is essential in effective therapy. Based on this, it is crucially important to get to know my clients on a personal level, and for my clients to get to know me. I position myself alongside my clients to collaboratively formulate a focused treatment plan.

As an HPCSA- registered Drama Therapist I facilitate a non-judgmental and confidential space where equal attention is given to the body, heart, mind and soul. Arts processes such as images and stories give shape and form to things that are difficult to talk about or to discover new insight in old patterns. Our work is about looking at all the parts that make up the Self, both the healthy ones and the hurting ones. By making space and engaging with these parts we get to better understand ourselves and connect with who we truly are. Arts activities are invited sensitively and when it feels appropriate – no awkward role-plays!

I am mostly a systems theorist. I believe if we can heal the system that impact you (past, present, family, health, spirituality, trauma, relationships) you will be able to move at your own healthy pace toward strength and victory. I work attachment-based as I believe our family or origin is the classroom where we were taught how to do life and relationships.

Who we believe we are is often shaped by what we have been through, and over time those experiences can become what holds us back. To move forward, we need the courage to question those limits and challenge the old beliefs that no longer serve us. One of the most powerful realisations in life is that who you have been is not who you have to remain. You are able to change, grow, and step into more of what is possible for you.
