 Dramatherapy 

​What is Dramatherapy?

Dramatherapy is a form of psychological therapy that utilizes creative and dramatic techniques to support emotional well-being and personal development. Grounded in psychological theory, it offers adults a safe and engaging space to explore and express their feelings through methods such as:

​

  • Improvisation

  • Storytelling and story-making

  • Puppetry and mask work

  • Sand tray

  • Drumming

  • Voice and body movement

 

By integrating both mind and body within a dramatic context, Dramatherapy enables adults to process challenging experiences indirectly, fostering psychological, emotional, and social change.

 

Why Choose Dramatherapy?

 

​Dramatherapy offers a unique, creative approach to therapy that can be particularly beneficial for those who find traditional talk therapies challenging. It allows individuals to express themselves in non-verbal ways, facilitating deeper exploration of emotions and experiences. This modality is inclusive and adaptable, making it suitable for people of all backgrounds.

I attended a series of sessions with Ann-marie to support me personally and also within my role in my workplace. Ann-marie pushed me out of my comfort zone to enable me to develop a greater sense of who I am. This is an experience I will be forever thankful for due to Ann-marie’s supportive and calm nature and how she tailored each session to my needs, allowing me to establish myself better in my workplace and also feel more secure and confident in who I am.
