Description: Clare Powis, Dramatherapist and actor. working in the NHS and in freelance practice as a dramatherapist in North Essex and Suffolk since 1992. Dramatherapy recognises that creativity is an instinctive healing process in every person, regardless of age, physical, cognitive or verbal ability. There is no need for a client to be a ‘good actor’.

Following working as a professional actor, I qualified as a Dramatherapist. Since 1992 I have been working in the NHS and in private practice as a dramatherapist in North Essex and Suffolk.
My practice of, and passion for, dramatherapy has enriched my work as an actor; and vice versa. Through my involvement in drama – in the clinic or theatre – I witness how creative thought and action are essential to the wellbeing of the human spirit.
