Wabriya King is a trained actress (The Oxford School of Drama) and Dramatherapist (University of Roehampton).

Combining both actor and psychotherapy training, Wabriya has developed a unique therapeutic support for people working in the performance arts. She provides a tailored approach to each production, responding to the creative’s individual needs as they arise through the project lifecycle.

Through her practice, Wabriya has recognised the body’s frequent inability to differentiate between reality and performance. This means that, in the unique environment of the rehearsal room, the actor is subject to the same stressors inherent within the piece. Wabriya creates a therapeutic, confidential space so that performers can safely explore where fiction blurs with their reality.

Wabriya continues to build upon her understanding of the body’s somatic response to trauma through further study with The Institute of Embodied Psychotherapy.
