I am a dramatherapist and clinical supervisor. I have extensive experience working with people who are processing trauma, suffering from depression, anxiety, obsessive thinking patterns, self-harming behaviour or who are otherwise in pain, feeling stuck, alone or empty.
Dramatherapy with Marianna
How I work depends very much on who I am working with. Each client needs something different and I use a variety of approaches in therapy sessions, depending on individual preference and need. Some people prefer to stick to talking. With others I might suggest working through the body using movement, breath and physicality. I may encourage artistic expression through art materials, writing or drama exercises. Most sessions combine several modes at once.
I emphasise observing the specificity of individual experience, past and present, and using that as a springboard from which to initiate change and fulfill desires for the future. While sessions certainly improve every day functionality, I believe the role of therapy is to provide a space for people to reconnect not just with health but with joy.
