About the Practice
When talking feels too blunt for what your child is carrying, dramatherapy can make the story safer to approach. MANTAS Creative Therapies gives Manchester families a creative therapy route for children and young people who cannot always explain distress through words alone. The work is therapy, not an art class, music lesson or drama club: the creative medium is used to support emotional expression, regulation and repair.

Clinical Expertise
