Information for Employers

Have you considered how your service and clients could benefit from a Dramatherapy service?

Dramatherapy is a psychological therapy that uses dramatic methods. It is particularly helpful intervention for people of all ages who may find verbal communication difficult due to physical, cultural, or psychological factors.

Dramatherapy can be a group or individual therapy. Dramatherapists work with a whole spectrum of clients and within a variety of organisations: many are employed in the NHS (mainly in mental health and with people with learning difficulties but also within general practice), but others work in mainstream primary and secondary schools, hospices, prisons, young offenders institutions and for voluntary agencies. Dramatherapists can also enhance the effectiveness of the organisation by providing clinical supervision to other staff members, facilitating team building and co-working with colleagues from other professions.

Full BADth members are governed by our codes of practice and the regulations laid down by The Health Professions Council.
