Our Practice

We work with a client centred approach using a wide range of drama and movement therapy techniques. In Our therapy room based in The Village Centre, Lucan we have percussion instruments, small figures and sand tray objects, fabrics and some simple art materials. We have a particular interest in the therapeutic use of story and myth.

Our Approach

We Offer an initial consultation session with each client, so that we can meet each other and decide whether it is appropriate to work together. Some children feel more comfortable to express their feelings in a one-on-one session. Our Individual Dramatherapy sessions offer a chance to explore each child’s feelings and emotional issues in a more intimate setting

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN A SESSION

  • Tailored Therapy

    We tailor our therapy to your child’s needs. We can focus on a particular theme such as family, anger, friendship or loss or we can operate in a more fluid, open and creative way to allow emotions to emerge naturally.

  • Fun, child-friendly approach

    We don’t just sit around and talk. We help your child explore his or her thoughts and feelings through fun, non-threatening activities that make them feel comfortable and safe.

  • Learn with the whole body

    We believe in engaging the mind, body and imagination to help children exercise the power of self-reflection and emotional expression.

  • Building confidence and social skills

    Through playful activities, children engage with the group, take turns, create, use their collective imaginations and learn to work as a team.

  • Role play

    Drama offers the opportunity to step into a new character. A withdrawn or shy child can play the brave or strong role and a bully can experience the situation from the perspective of being bullied

  • Rehearsing new ways of coping

    We allow children to rehearse other ways of responding or reacting to situations. This gives them a repertoire of coping mechanisms

  • Creative Distance

    Sometimes talking about your own story is too difficult. Imaginative stories offer a safe distance for children to explore their issues in a hypothetical way
