Being and becoming who we are involves recognising and letting go of dated life scripts that do not serve us, as protagonists of a unique personal journey.
We are social creatures so, other people have roles to play in our journey, just as we play roles in theirs, and Humanity role-plays with Nature and the Cosmos. Yet, nothing and nobody truly replaces us in the legitimate protagonist role we have in our own life – even when it seems like we are not inhabiting this role, it is solely and ultimately ours to play. There is no dress reversal in life, so it is important that live our lives as if we were “at the brink of creation” (J.L. Moreno), and that we act with relational responsibility.
It is in close relationships that our patterns become most visible. For this reason, I often work with couples—many from different cultural backgrounds—who find themselves caught in recurring cycles of conflict, communication issues, difficulties with trust and intimacy, as well as addiction, trauma, emotional and mental health challenges. Through creative action, relational dynamics can be explored and experienced in transformative ways, opening space for understanding, healing, and change.
Creative action-methods nurture our true, spontaneous, potential-fulfilling-able selves. They promote insight, expression, connection and realisation, by facilitating embodied and mindful agency, safe catharsis, reparation, and preparation for future action.
This website is a 2-way gate and a bridge between you, and the following action-methods:
Psychodrama – the individual drama, re-visited either in group or one-to-one psychotherapy (psychodramatic techniques are also applicable and extremely useful in couples and family therapy).
Sociodrama – the drama of a group, organisation, community, and society as a whole.
Playback Theatre – improvised re-enactment of true personal stories, shared within a group or by a theatre audience.
