Individual & Group Dramatherapy

Individual Therapy

Following an initial phone call and consultation to see if we are a good fit for one another, regular individual therapy sessions will take place with the client and Laura, on a one-to-one basis, where a base of trust, security and support is initially built before beginning to focus creatively on aspects of themselves and their lives that arise during our work together. The client and therapist will regularly set and review therapeutic goals throughout the process of therapy in order to track the individual’s progress.

LOCATION:

One-to-one sessions can be in person (at The Bromley Therapy & Wellbeing).

Online sessions will be via WhatsApp video call, Zoom or Microsoft Teams (depending on preference).

Phone appointments can be discussed, however are only agreed upon depending on client need.

DURATION:

Sessions last between 50mins-1 hour (depending on the session’s natural end), once per week, however session duration and frequency can be tailored to better suit a person’s individual needs.

Individual therapy sessions can either be ongoing, or an end-date for therapy can be discussed and set, and reviewed if necessary.

Group Therapy

Group therapy can be a wonderful way of developing new skills and exploring current issues with likeminded individuals, whilst being supported and facilitated by the therapist.

Before a group begins, you will be invited to a consultation to meet Laura and discuss what you wish to gain from participating in a group. Groups are usually ‘closed’ (meaning the members stay the same throughout the group’s run), however can be ‘open’ if specified. Sessions will be on the same day and time each time we meet, usually on a weekly basis, and the number of sessions and end date for the group will usually be set and specified, unless it’s specified that the group is ‘ongoing’.

All initial group sessions focus on building trust and getting to know each other; this encourages the creation of a safe space in order to develop connection, understanding and empathy between the members of the group. The group and therapist will then journey together to explore difficult feelings and aspects of individuals as they arise, while working creatively and supporting one another through their journey.

LOCATION

Group therapy sessions usually take place in my private group therapy space in Downend, Bristol, unless clearly specified as an online group (these will be held over Zoom or Microsoft Teams).

Initial consultations can be held online if need be.

DURATION

Sessions are usually 90 minutes in duration, once per week, depending on the group’s needs.

Therapy groups usually have an end date set, with a view of how many sessions we will be meeting for.

PRICING & AVAILABILITY

The individual costs of group therapy are variable as the initial pricing is split between participants. Please see the list of current upcoming groups for more details.
