    "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".

    "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
