Dramatherapy is a therapeutic method that invites you to work with your whole being. It activates the emotions, the body, the mind and the soul. For this reason, it is an experiential approach that encourages you to actively participate in the therapeutic process through dialogue and creativity.

It derives from the combination of the words “drama” (to act, to do something) and “therapy” (to restore good health, to serve). It is based on the idea that symbolic action through the arts can bring catharsis and self-awareness.

Dramatherapy helps you:

• connect with your emotions and your body
• express yourself
• explore roles and patterns you maintain in your relationships with others
• process difficult experiences or/and trauma
• discover inner resources
• gain self-awareness
• make beneficial changes for yourself and develop flexibility in life

You don’t need to have experience or skills in the arts. It can be adjusted to your personal needs and abilities.

My work is based on analytical psychology, psychodynamic and person-centered approaches, developmental psychology, theories of comparative mythology and anthropology, and the therapeutic use of movement and theatre.

Perhaps you have become used to caring for others, holding everything together, and managing the challenges around you — while, quietly inside, you feel tired, disconnected, or unsure of what you truly need for yourself. You may be experiencing:

• a sense that you have reached your limits, or feeling emotionally and physically overwhelmed
• uncertainty about who you are, what you want, or which direction you would like your life to take
• feeling caught in patterns where you often place the needs of others before your own
• the impact of a loss, a major life change, or a period of transition that has deeply affected you
• feeling emotionally distant, numb, or as though you are no longer fully connected with yourself.

You may have been trying to navigate these feelings and challenges on your own for a long time. Sometimes, having a safe, supportive space where you can be heard, understood, and explore what you are going through can make a meaningful difference.

• Finding your sense of identity and reconnecting with yourself
• Emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or professional and emotional burnout
• Grief and loss
• Life transitions (such as studying abroad, career changes, moving to a new country, midlife, menopause, or children leaving home)
• Relationship challenges and learning to establish healthy boundaries
• Patterns of over-caring for others while neglecting your own needs
• Emotional support in coping with chronic illness, chronic pain, or the experience of cancer.

The therapeutic relationship develops between you and me. My focus is entirely on you. I listen closely to what you truly need and follow your own pace in the therapeutic process, within a steady framework of safety and trust.

First Meeting

We are given the opportunity to get to know each other and to explore together the reasons that led you to therapy.

Setting and Process

We agree on the framework of our work together. We define the aims of therapy and the frequency of our sessions, setting a specific date and time.

We begin to gradually explore the issues you bring, observe how the therapeutic relationship develops between us, and give you space to become familiar with the method of dramatherapy through experience. The therapeutic process is open-ended, with the possibility of working on deeper levels of the self and gaining further insights. The therapy ends when you feel that your personal process has been completed.

Participating in a dramatherapy group can offer you a powerful experience. The group framework becomes a safe container where you can share, listen, receive support, co-create, connect with other people, and meet parts of yourself that are strengthened by teamwork.

Closed Group

This type of group is defined by a number of people who commit to work psychotherapeutically as a group for a specific period of time. The aims are relevant to the themes that are common to its members and are modified according to the group’s development.

Autonomous Workshops

These workshops have a specific theme and aim from the start. The participants can be related to each other or be completely unknown to one another. When a group is created, they are invited to explore the workshop’s theme by using the dynamics of the group.

Therapy is offered in both English and Greek.
