Further Details:
I am a qualified dramatherapist with over ten years professional experience practising in private practice, the NHS and the Third Sector, in Glasgow, Dundee and London. I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and insured by the Psychologists Protection Society (PPS). I have specialised in Dramatherapy (MA, University of Roehampton, London) and I have undertaken additional training in trauma focused therapies (EMDR, DBR and Narrative Exposure Therapy), Therapeutic Photography (School of Applied Social Studies, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Centre of Therapy, Glasgow), and Mindfulness.
I offer a trauma-informed creative therapeutic approach that aims to support expression and exploration of capacities for insight, encourage positive change and improve emotional and psychological wellbeing. My practice is informed by attachment, person centred and psychodynamic theories, and includes dramatherapy, phototherapy and trauma processing interventions.
I use a variety of methods to support individuals address and explore feelings, personal and emotional difficulties, relationship issues and trauma. These include talking therapy, working with photographs, objects, masks, movement, voice, role-play, story making and creative writing. The work encourages use of metaphor and symbolism to enable exploration and understanding of difficult issues at a distance.
