What is Dramatherapy and my Offer to You

I believe in the transformative power of dramatherapy and arts psychotherapy using my person-centred approach ensures that your unique story guides the therapeutic journey, creating a safe and supportive environment for healing and creative exploration

My main aim is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and to tailor therapy sessions to your specific therapeutic needs. I can offer an imaginative way of working online to use creativity to work through any issues using my experience in my practice. Creativity can be used to express emotions by not always needing to talk. All sessions are confidential, safe and I follow HCPC and BADth guidelines and adhere to best practice and clinical safeguarding. You are unique and how we can work together is unique. I am a guide through your story and journey and it usually takes 12 sessions and more but could be a year or more or whatever you need
