Testimonials
"Dramatherapy had never been used previously at my school, but Tamsin’s work with several children has shown us how beneficial it can be, and given us further insight as to how best we can support children’s emotional well-being. We would happily have her back again." (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) Hackney school)
"Tamsin was highly reliable, kept excellent clear notes and demonstrated good understanding of psychodynamic processes with her clients. She is articulate, assertive and clearly a very able therapist. If I were in the position to employ her as a Sesame dramatherapist I would do so with no hesitation." (NHS Nurse and Therapist Manager)
"The children, who all had individual needs, met as a group and explored their feelings, behaviour and different ways of expressing themselves. Their relationships with other children improved and the children's listening skills were heightened and strengthened within the group." (Nursery Teacher/SENCO)
"We were delighted to have the benefit of Tamsin's expertise and wish that we were able to offer all the children special one-to-one time." (Teacher)
"Tamsin herself is highly professional and caring in her approach and the patients clearly benefited from the Sesame dramatherapy sessions." (NHS practitioner)
"Tamsin worked at our hospital for 9 months with a small group of patients meeting weekly. Patients reported that they found Sesame dramatherapy useful in a number of ways. They felt Tamsin/the therapy/the group helped support them through their difficulties. Some found that they were changing the way they thought about those difficulties. They reported that they were able to get in touch with their (at times difficult emotions) and express them. Some also expressed an increased emotional resilience in that they were more accepting of emotional states and were better equipped to deal with the less pleasant feelings we all experience at times." (NHS Nurse and Therapist Manager)
“Dramatherapy benefits young people in school as it provides them with a safe, unconditional space to explore issues that are troubling them. Sometimes when life is very difficult for these young people the therapy space is the only one they have to explore difficult feelings.” (employee of Hackney council)
"Dramatherapy ideally thrives with the active support of school staff and family.” (employee of Hackney council)
