New Beginnings: Transition to Secondary School Therapeutic Group

Support Your Child’s Transition to Secondary School

5-Week Drama Therapy Group | Summer 2025 – Central Birmingham & Wolverhampton

​

Starting secondary school is a big step - and it's completely normal for children to feel a mix of excitement and anxiety. Our 5-week Drama Therapy group is designed to gently support children aged 10–12 as they navigate this important change, helping them build confidence, resilience, and emotional tools in a creative and supportive environment.

🎭 Facilitator: Led by a qualified and insured Drama Psychotherapist (HCPC Registered) with extensive experience in children's mental health, Arts Therapies, and school transitions.

What to Expect:

Using Drama and Embodied Arts Therapy, we’ll explore key themes such as:

​

• Expressing emotions safely and confidently

• Managing anxiety around change or the unknown

• Growing self-esteem and a sense of identity

• Strengthening social skills and building peer trust
  ​

Sessions are designed to be light, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. No drama experience is needed, just a willingness to take part!

​

What to Bring/Wear:
Comfortable clothes for movement, a water bottle, and an open mind!

By the end of the 5 weeks, we aim for children to have:

• A stronger sense of who they are and what helps them feel safe

• Practical, nervous-system based tools to manager anxiety and stress

• A boost in self-confidence

• A positive experience of peer connection
