About me
Hi, I'm Alex, an HCPC registered Dramatherapist. I work with children, teens and young adults. If you are struggling with self-confidence, anxiety, low mood, a significant life transition, problematic substance or alcohol use, processing a major life change or event, or simply need someone outside of your network to listen and understand. My warm, genuine, and creative approach might be the right fit for you. My expertise includes working with trauma, anxiety, depression, problematic substance use, and neurodiversity. I am committed to helping you overcome challenges using creative tools in a way that suits you. I provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your emotions and develop the skills needed to thrive.
I am an LGBTQ+ inclusive therapist.
Training, qualifications & experience
Training/qualifications
I graduated from Roehampton University in 2019 with an MA in Dramatherapy in 2019.
Experience
I have worked for a number of organisations and with a variety of clients, including young carers, survivors of stalking, refugees, neurodivergent young people, trans/non binary young people, young people who misuse drugs or alcohol, young people affected my familial drug and alcohol misuse and survivors of sexual abuse.
For 3 years I worked as a Young Persons Therapist at 'The Oasis Project,' where I specialised in working with 16-25 year olds who experienced problematic alcohol and substance use. My role involved providing support, guidance, and therapeutic interventions to help young people navigate their challenges, and work towards positive change. Additionally I worked with young people age 5-18 whose families are affected by alcohol and drug misuse. Many of my clients are neurodiverse and/or have experienced complex childhood trauma. I also co-run a Community Interest Company 'Stone Soup South'. We provide low cost creative therapeutic parent and baby groups. I have run projects like this for over three years and have a wealth of knowledge connected to the experience of becoming a parent.
With over ten years of experience working with young people, I have a strong background working with children, young people, and their families who have autism and ADHD. This extensive experience has equipped me with valuable insights and skills to support effectively individuals with diverse needs, facilitating growth, understanding, and empowerment within these communities.

Further information
What is Dramatherapy?
In simple terms, Dramatherapy is a creative form of psychotherapy that uses drama, art, music, images— in fact, anything creative— with the aim of helping clients find expression for their struggles, build their confidence, and become more self-aware.
My Approach to Dramatherapy
My approach is deeply person-centered, characterized by warmth, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. I incorporate various modalities such as play, art, character creation, and storytelling to facilitate expression. However, I understand that creativity may not be everyone's preferred mode of communication, so there's no pressure to engage in the creative process. Instead, I collaborate with clients to identify the methods that resonate with them, while gently introducing creative tools that I believe could offer additional support and evoke insight along the way. Ultimately, my goal is to create a safe and nurturing space where clients can explore, grow, and find their own path to healing.
Why choose Dramatherapy?
- Expressing creatively can help clients communicate emotions, feelings and thoughts that may be difficult to put into words.
- It provides a structure to help clients feel safe.
- Working with metaphor can help clients discover new things about themselves and gain a greater understanding of who they are.
