Dramatherapy & The Elderly

In Dramatherapy working with clients who have experienced loss or bereavement,or who are living with Dementia - dramatherapy aims to enable the building of self-esteem, retaining a sense of empowerment over oneself, and promoting independence. There is the use of storywork that provides the opportunity to remember their own stories, memories, and reflect them imaginatively back to the group. The sessions are confidential so the clients can feel confident in expressing feelings that may not be possible in everyday surroundings. The sessions also provide a sense of fun and laughter and a chance to interact and engage theraputically supporting the development of friendship and relationship with others.
