Wellbeing for Theatre

“From the living fountain of instinct flows everything that is creative”

Carl Jung

Integrated Psychological & Wellbeing Support

I offer tailored support across your entire project. Ensuring your creative process is safe, grounded and rooted in psychological and interpersonal awareness.

I help companies achieve deeply truthful performance and powerful group cohesion across the entire creative lifecycle. My support is integrated at every stage: from the foundational R&D period through full rehearsal care, to wraparound performance maintenance, and extending to all aspects of theatre education and training.

What We Can Explore Together…

Text & Theme

Uncover deeper psychological layers of your production’s narrative, symbolism and subtext.

Character & Relationships

Enrich character development and relational dynamics, expanding understanding of human motivation and desire.

Creative Safety

Proactively acknowledge intersectionality and company dynamics, establishing clarity of boundaries and consent-informed practices.

Group Cohesion

Develop company trust and open channels for greater creative expression, especially when working with challenging or sensitive themes.

My Approach

My practice is committed to anti-oppressive and enabling principles. This involves working with sensitivity to lived experience, respecting autonomy, and maintaining awareness of power dynamics. Creating a thriving and inclusive artistic space.

Support is always tailored to your project, integrating flexible options, including:

  • Full-company workshops

  • Small group sessions

  • One-to-one personalised wellbeing check-ins for company members

As a fully qualified psychotherapist with over 20 years experience with working in theatre, I understand first-hand the intense beauty and challenges of theatre-making.
