My approach

Psychodrama

Psychodrama is an individual and group form of psychotherapy, accredited by the British Psychodrama Association and recognised by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).  It is a creative, experiential and holistic approach, where the client is invited to use creative action methods to explore whatever is important to them.

For example, a client may use objects to show how they're feeling, or they may use empty chairs to try out a new role. By giving things a specific shape and form, using movement and changing positions, we can see things differently and make sense of things that may have previously been invisible, intangible and difficult to talk about.

This creative process is embodied and experiential, recognising the client's whole self and their mind-body and emotional connection. It is a flexible and adapted to suit individual and group needs.

Psychodrama is not acting or performing, and no prior experience of psychodrama is necessary.Psychodrama was developed by J.L. Moreno in the early twentieth century. It is a relational and growth-oriented approach that recognises the impact of early experiences and relationships on our development. 

I see us (humans) as being part of and separate from nature, in an interdependent relationship and interconnected process.

Working outdoors, invites us to encounter (other) nature in a different way from working inside. Here, we enter into a shared, living container for the therapeutic process where we experience the bird song, rain, mud, falling leaves, together. This co-creative process provides an added sensory, embodied and relational dimension to therapy, inviting you to deepen your relationship with yourself and the wider natural world.
