Nikkita

Nikkita is a psychotherapist specialising in Sesame-trained dramatherapy. Their work is grounded in the understanding that healing is not only verbal; imagination, embodiment, metaphor, and role can offer powerful access to experiences that may feel overwhelming or difficult to articulate.

They have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients, particularly trans and gender-diverse individuals exploring identity, transition, embodiment, dysphoria, and belonging. Their practice is informed by an awareness of minority stress and the systemic contexts shaping lived experience.

Clinical experience includes working with eating disorders, trauma-related experiences, addiction recovery, ASD Autistic support, relationship difficulties, spirituality, and complex group dynamics. They have worked in private clinical settings and with diverse cultural groups.

Alongside therapeutic practice, they have supported actors and directors in rehearsal processes involving sensitive material. This breadth — from therapy room to rehearsal space — informs a nuanced understanding of role, story, projection, and relational dynamics, which distinguishes their work.

In sessions, dramatherapy may involve metaphor, image, voice, movement, creative writing, or symbolic objects. Clients are never required to perform; the creative frame offers distance and safety, enabling difficult material to be explored indirectly and with greater agency.

Online, this work remains embodied and relational. Through guided imagery, spatial awareness, simple objects, drawing, and role dialogue, the screen becomes a contained stage where experiences can be externalised, witnessed, and re-authored.

Their approach is collaborative, trauma-aware, and paced according to each client’s needs, supporting integration, authenticity, and meaningful change.
