Dramatherapy is a form of psychotherapy in which all performance arts are utilised within the therapeutic relationship. Dramatherapists are clinicians that draw upon training in theatre/drama and therapy in order to create methods to engage clients in effectual psychological, emotional and social changes. The therapy gives equal validity to body and mind within the dramatic context: stories, metaphor and improvisation are examples of the range of artistic interventions that a Dramatherapist may employ. These enable the client to explore difficult and painful life experiences through an indirect approach that can offer insight by observing a situation from different perspectives. I believe Dramatherapy is about the presence of a willing and intuitive listener who can guide the client through the creative process to find meaning and to re-create the image of themselves, allowing a more functional self-image and a clearer road ahead to emerge. I am not the expert of you, you are! I am merely a guide.

Dramatherapy empowers us to change the dysfunctional scripts about who we believe we are and the life we believe we deserve, which can be very self-limiting. Dramatherapy facilitates us to become the author and director of our own life narrative and to change the script. It enables us to explore and transmute obstacles along our path that no longer serve us, which block us from pursuing our quest for a more joyous, abundant and meaningful life.
