Following graduating in Performance Studies Alexa went on to work with a small theatre company in London, creating original and abstract theatre. After two years with the company, Alexa decided to take her passion for drama and theatre and move into secondary school teaching to inspire young people.

She has been Head of Performing Arts at a large secondary school where she has worked extensively with children of all ages, from all backgrounds in Drama, Dance and Music.

Alexa believes strongly in the benefits of drama and performance for children from a young age to increase confidence and aspirations.

Sophie qualified as a dramatherapist with distinction at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama after working in education supporting children who struggled academically at school. Sophie now works as a dramatherapist in primary schools working with children with a range of needs including those who have experienced bereavements, living in care, trauma, low self esteem, attachment issues and other social, emotional and mental health needs. She also works in an NHS psychiatric hospital with both inpatient and outpatient adults.

Sophie has a passion for enabling children to fulfil their potential. She is committed to evaluating the success of dramatherapeutic interventions and raising the profile of dramatherapy, in order for it to be offered to more children and families in the future.
