Our Team
tHALIA CHAPPELL
Thalia (she/her) has a background in youth work, amassing 8 years of experience in group facilitation and wellbeing support prior to her training in dramatherapy.
Her interest in creative spaces geared towards the promotion of emotional growth was sparked by work with children and young people. However, Thalia has experience working with adults therapeutically too.
Thalia’s instinctively playful approach is rooted in storytelling and metaphor, and aims to honour your way of expressing yourself.
She is also a puppet artist and researcher. In her research, Thalia has found that she is interested in the following themes as they relate to dramatherapy practice:
Personal narrative and its relationship to truth
Autism and “masking”
LGBT “flagging” and other identity-based performance practices
Emotional dysregulation and personality disorder
Neurodivergence in women and girls
Preserving dignity in the therapeutic alliance
Honouring client spirituality in secular therapeutic spaces
Thalia is a fully HCPC-accredited dramatherapist based in Glasgow. As a registered member of BADth, Thalia works in accordance with their code of ethics.
Liane gallagher
Liane’s profile is under construction.
Thalia and Liane are a warm and friendly cofacilitation partnership. They met as classmates on their MSc training course, which they completed to become HCPC-accredited dramatherapists. During their time as trainees, they found that their respective approaches to facilitation, storytelling, and listening were complementary, and they each benefitted greatly from observing the other at work. Their shared experience of this powerful time of learning has enabled a fluency in their communication, meaning that they can work together with care to hold a safe, exploratory space for your creative expression. Thalia and Liane cofacilitate dramatherapy groups and creative-expressive (non-therapy) workshops for groups of 4 or more clients, and both individually facilitate 1:1 dramatherapy.
