I feel that my son will benefit greatly from it, learning more about expressing himself and being in tune with his feelings".
"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".

"My daughter enjoys dramatherapy and has spoken positively about what she does in the session". 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". Inclusion Manager - Junior School - Newham
"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 been seen in our complex pupils". Inclusion Manager Primary School – Epping
" The therapist is valuable in enabling our pupils to identify their emotions and helps them to think about the choices they make. The service has become a essential part of social and emotional team". Pastoral Care Worker Primary School – Epping
