Soirse Burns

I am a Dramatherapist who uses play, embodiment, and an analytical
psychotherapeutic approach to provide culturally sensitive, trauma-
informed therapy to individuals from a variety of backgrounds. I am driven by themes of community identity, intimacy and injustice.

Alongside my dramatherapy practice, my theatre work focuses on
devised pieces and physical theatre and working with marginalised
community groups as a drama facilitator. My work is motivated by
the transformative power of storytelling.
