Drama therapist Anne Gollan is passionate about the use of play and storytelling to explore and make sense of difficult emotions, for both children and young adults.
Skilled at creating safe environments and facilitating role play, Gollan uses a background as an actor and drama teacher, together with a recently completed Masters in Drama Therapy, to respond to different individuals and groups. She says she’s excited by the increasing mainstream acceptance of “somatic knowledge” – the idea that the body has a way of holding onto emotions and trauma, and that it needs to be listened to.
