Dramatherapy Qualifications and Experience

I have 10 years experience working with children and adolescents in the educational system, both in mainstream and special needs schools. I have provided one to one and group sessions for client groups with a variety of special needs. These include children and adolescents on the spectrum, Emotional and Behavioural difficulties, PMLD, Moderate learning difficulties and children experiencing bereavement and families in crisis.

I also have experience of working with elderly clients offering group dramatherapy sessions both in care homes and day care centres.

Dramatherapy is a psychological therapy that uses dramatic methods. It can be a group or individual therapy. It is not necessary to be good at drama as sessions can involve many ways of accessing a person's creativity. Every session is different, growing each week in a way that acknowledges and supports the individual or group. Through developing a therapeutic relationship, a person is given the opportunity to further their development in a safe and nurturing environment that focuses on their individual needs.
