Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
To serve the significance of dramatherapy and its potential, I am also offering a wide range of dramatherapy workshops and sessions including training, individual and group dramatherapy. Aimed to help individuals and groups to fully reach their potential and awareness, find alternative ways to handle their problems and issues and have better understanding of self and others.
Perhaps you want to begin your process of self-healing with creativity. Dramatherapy can help you become aware and understand your feelings and emotions in a safe space and boundaries.
You may choose dramatherapy so you can use drama techniques, such as role-play and script play to rehearse your life activities where you might normally find them difficult or lack experience to do so. This area of work will suit people with different needs such as people with Autism and Asperger's syndrome.
Or you may have experienced more complex issues and need more than a talk therapy to support you. Dramatherapy can offer you more ways to work on your deeper issues or the unspoken.
