Meet Rosie
I am a HCPC-registered Dramatherapist, Clinical Supervisor, Lecturer, and PhD Researcher based in Cambridge. Throughout my career, I have worked across the NHS, Cambridgeshire County Council, higher education, and private practice, supporting children, young people, and adults with a wide range of emotional, psychological, and developmental needs. My clinical experience includes inpatient mental health settings, forensic services, psychosis services, personality disorder services, dementia care, and schools.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a Lecturer and Placement Co-ordinator in Dramatherapy at Anglia Ruskin University, where I teach, supervise trainees, and contribute to the development of future practitioners. I am also a trained Clinical Supervisor, providing a reflective and supportive space for therapists, allied health professionals, and other helping professionals
I am currently undertaking a PhD exploring the relationship between Dramatherapy and role-playing games (RPG), particularly Dungeons & Dragons, looking to develop RPG therapy. My research examines how storytelling, role, imagination, and collaborative play can support identity development, wellbeing, and therapeutic change. I am passionate about innovation within the profession and the ways creativity can help us better understand ourselves, connect with others, and create meaningful change in our lives.

What is Dramatherapy?
Dramatherapy is a form of psychological therapy that uses creativity, imagination, storytelling, and dramatic processes to support emotional wellbeing and personal growth.
Unlike traditional talking therapies, Dramatherapy can offer a range of ways to explore experiences, feelings, and relationships, including role-play, story-making, creative expression through arts and crafts, games and play. Sessions are focused on what level and area of creative intervention the client is comfortable with.
No previous experience of drama or acting is required. Dramatherapy provides a safe and supportive space where people can explore challenges and gain new insights and perspectives.

What is Clinical Supervision?
Clinical supervision is a reflective and supportive process that helps therapists and other helping professionals develop their practice, maintain ethical standards, and support client wellbeing. Supervision provides a confidential space to discuss clinical work, explore challenges, reflect on professional relationships, celebrate successes, and identify opportunities for growth and learning.
Creative supervision extends this process by incorporating creative and expressive methods, such as imagery, metaphor, storytelling, role exploration, objects, and other experiential techniques. These approaches can help access new perspectives, deepen reflection, and bring greater awareness to aspects of practice that may be difficult to articulate through discussion alone. By engaging both analytical and creative ways of thinking, supervision can foster insight, resilience, professional confidence, and renewed connection to your work.
