I am a dramatherapist working on an acute mental health inpatient ward after completing my MA Drama and Movement Therapy training at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and becoming a HCPC certified Arts Therapist. I’ve had the privilege of working in hospitals, dementia assessment wards, acute mental health wards, mainstream schools as well as educational provisions for children with complex and severe learning disabilities. Through using story, play, movement, symbols, sounds, acting and many more theatrical and physical techniques and activities, drama therapy is an indirect approach which allows clients to look at themselves, others, emotions and experiences from a different perspective, without the necessity of using words which can sometimes be difficult. This Drama and Movement Therapy training is a form of Arts Psychotherapy training which I have had the honour to complete.
