Drama Therapy

Dramatherapy is a unique form of psychotherapy, delivered by HCPC registered dramatherapists to support people with their social, emotional mental health needs.

Dramatherapy has as its main focus the intentional use of healing aspects of drama and theatre as the therapeutic process. It is a method of working and playing that uses action methods to facilitate creativity, imagination, learning, insight and growth. Dramatherapy can follow the childhood development milestones with a unique way of working which is linked to each stage, this is known as embodiment, projection and role (EPR, Jennings).

Dramatherapy utilises all aspects of drama and theatre to support clients. These can be mask and puppetry work, scenes and roles plays, sensory and creative play.
