Dundee Rep is the only Theatre in the UK to have a resident Dramatherapist.  Funded by Dundee City Council’s Social Work Department our Dramatherapy service has worked with adults with mental health problems for over 14 years.

Dramatherapy uses creative activities as a means of expressing emotions, learning new skills, reflecting on behavioural patterns, interacting with others, relating to others in a new or different way, gaining confidence, having fun and feeling better.

Participants who are referred to us via their GP, Community Psychiatric Nurse, social worker or through self referral express that coming to a creative place like Dundee Rep means they are not attending groups as a patient, but attending groups as an individual with talent and creativity, with something to offer and aspects of themselves to discover and explore.
