The Nurture in Nature ethos
Who we are and what we do
At Nurture in Nature dramatherapy (NIND) we combine both nature and therapy within one form to support well-being and therapeutic needs.
Laura (Bassingthwaighte) Hubbard is the founder of NIND.
From working as a secondary school Drama teacher in 2014, Laura felt that she wanted to give back to her students and support young people with their therapeutic needs. It was her vision to bring therapy to a natural setting.
In 2016 after training at ARU Laura qualified as a dramatherapist and went on to complete a forest school level 3 course with the Green Light Trust.
In 2017 Laura published an article in Taylor and Francis 'Taking dramatherapy into the outside space ‒ the benefits and obstacles when working with children with SEMH issues'
In January 2022, Laura qualified as a clinical supervisor.
Services I Offer
Getting back to the roots
Dramatherapy one to one sessions
Working on the Individual Needs of the Client
Dramatherapy is a unique type of pyschodrama that uses drama techniques such as roleplay, storytelling, creative tools, small world play, masks and puppetry to create creative distance for clients to explore their feelings.
One to one sessions provide a unique treatment plan to suit the individuals needs.
Individual sessions are for children, adolescences, and adults
Parental support sessions
Understanding the needs of the child and the parents
One-to-one sessions can support the needs of the individual, however it can be difficult to understand and work through the behaviours of your child without support and guidance. Parental support sessions provide a non-judgemental space, for parents to explore and work through their child's needs, as well the individual needs of the parents.
This can lead on to family sessions; looking at the family as a system and supporting all elements of the family dynamics.
Family Sessions
Working together to understand all the roles of the family dynamic.
Family sessions usually happen after individual and parental sessions take place. These sessions look at the system of the family and the roles within it.
Sessions can work in playful ways to build on connection, whilst simultaneously supporting the family work through challenges to support their needs, both individually and as a unit.
Sessions within school settings.
Understanding child's communication and needs within a school setting.
The outside setting is not always the best environment for some clients. Therefore school settings are a containing environment to support young people's needs.
Sessions focus on how the client communicates their needs within therapy sessions. This is then fed back in a holistic way, to the teaching team that support the client within the school setting.
