I am a HCPC state registered Dramatherapist and Creative Arts Supervisor who graduated from the University of Roehampton with a Masters in Dramatherapy where I now also teach Therapeutic Stories and Ritual Theatre Units. Before retraining to become a Therapist my final role on stage was Prospero. As a Therapist I work in the community with women at risk of the Criminal Justice System and or with life enduring mental ill health. As well as leading Health & Wellbeing on a weekly basis at Clean Break Theatre Company I also work regularly as an in-house production Dramatherapist with several renowned theatres such as the National Theatre’s Othello and Trouble in Mind, Bristol Old Vic’s The Meaning of Zong, and a socially prescribed Long Covid program at Old Vic Theatre. I also regularly work with Kiln Theatre and teach the Pedagogy of Storytelling and Ritual Theatre annually at the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama. I began my Dramatherapy career on an acute NHS mental health ward for two years before returning to theatre and working in the community. I have a small private practice and consultancy and am currently the in-house Dramatherapist on Dr Semmelweis with Mark Rylance directed by Tom Morris at the Harold Pinter Theatre until October 2023.
