Roundabout Dramatherapy
Roundabout is a registered charity dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable people, using the creative power of dramatherapy to enhance mental health.
Dramatherapy is a form of psychological therapy which uses drama related techniques such as storytelling, metaphor, play and movement, improvisation, puppets and music, to support people to understand themselves and make positive changes in their lives.
Dramatherapy’s creative flexibility makes it an appropriate intervention for people of all ages from children and adolescents through to older adults.
Dramatherapy can be of help to those who are
- experiencing mental health challenges
- feeling anxious
- struggling with communicating
- feeling isolated
- having problems with peers
- experiencing family difficulties
- living with depression
- trying to overcome trauma
- encountering difficulties at school
- having behavioural problems
- facing a bereavement or loss
- enduring low self-esteem
- engaging in self-destructive behaviour
- struggling to self-regulate
Roundabout offers dramatherapy to a small number of Wandsworth Primary Schools for children with mental health needs and co-occurring autism, ADHD, as well as those who have experienced trauma.
