About us
CDthAN is a community for past and future graduates of the Masters Programme in Drama and Movement Therapy at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama; University of London.
The network provides a platform for evolving dialogue around theory and practice. We aim to offer space to share professional news, practice and research that is rooted in the Sesame methodology.
We welcome current students, qualified Sesame Dramatherapists and other professionals from relevant disciplines to attend diverse and varied training opportunities.
CDthAN was launched in 2017 and continues as a Non-Profit network administered by Graduates of the MA.
CDthAN offers members free or low cost CPD opportunities. Keep up-to-date with upcoming events here and position vacancies. If you would like to propose a CPD event or advertise a job opportunity then get in touch and this will be considered by the team.

Meet The Team
Petra
HCPC-registered Dramatherapist offering dramatherapy for children and adolescents. My work weaves movement, myth, and symbolic play to support trauma, neurodivergence, and emotional regulation. I am guided by a deep curiosity about time, imagination, and the psyche’s capacity to heal.
Jordan
HCPC-registered Dramatherapist working with young people in community and urban settings. My practice is relational, person-centred, and shame-informed, meeting young people where they are and supporting emotional regulation, identity, and trust through consistent, boundaried relationships. I am guided by curiosity about how story, environment, and relationship shape the psyche’s capacity to heal.
Manasi
I'm an HCPC-registered Dramatherapist working with children and adults using creative, culturally-informed approaches that honour each person's unique story. My movement practice is enriched by classical training in Bharatanatyam, weaving this embodied knowledge into trauma-informed and person centered work. Through dramatherapy, dance movement therapy, and play-based interventions, I meet people where they are using creativity, culture, and compassion to create space for healing and growth.
Amber
I’m an HCPC-registered Dramatherapist working with children, adolescents, and their families, supporting individuals when words alone are not enough through play, movement, voice, and story.
Holly
I'm an HCPC-registered dramatherapist who works with children and young people and has experience in addiction services.
