A dramatherapy session usually runs once a week for an hour. The number of sessions is dependent on the need and availability. If you are interested in starting dramatherapy, we will have an initial meeting followed by three assessment sessions after which we can decide if you would like to continue and would find this approach useful.
Dramatherapy can be short term (3-6 months) or long term (6 months to over a year).
