Parents & Schools Testimony
"The therapy at school helped Anna a lot, she understood why and how her mood changed"
Parent
"Dramatherapy (Bennu) has helped our school support the emotional and mental well-being of pupils. It provides another layer of support for pupils with emotional difficulties and has enabled us identify, or capture severe on-going emotional challenges faced by pupils, that otherwise may fall ‘under the radar’. In some cases this led to referrals for much needed support for the pupils. I will recommend it"
NewhamInclusion Manager - Junior School
"Brandon talks about his dramatherapy sessions. It obviously helped him to identify his emotions, and ways to deal with them"
Parent
"The therapist uses a wide range of materials which encourage pupils to engage and make the most of their session. A positive influence can already be seen in our complex pupils"
EppingInclusion Manager - Primary School
"dramatherapy has helped Caroline during some very difficult times and she has come out the other side, as a much happier and confident child. Thank you"

Parent
"My daughter enjoyed dramatherapy and has spoken positively about what she has done in the session"
Parent
"I am happy with the drama therapy my son's been having. It has been close to 3 months and he seems to really enjoy it. He hasn't given me too much detail about what goes on, but always says that he looks forward to seeing his therapist and having the sessions. I feel that my son will benefit greatly from it, learning more about expressing himself and being in tune with his feelings"
Parent
"The sessions have helped him to become more self-aware. I can see the positive changes in his conduct and behaviour towards others, and this has given me the confidence to apply more routines and boundaries at home, which I have struggled with as a parent"
