Ms Amruta Huddar, MA
Dramatherapist
“I believe that meaningful change is rarely just about talking. Our experiences are held not only in our thoughts, but also in our bodies, relationships, creativity and the communities we are part of. I am an HCPC-registered Drama and Movement Psychotherapist with 8+ years of experience working across India and the UK with adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, identity exploration and emotional overwhelm. My approach is grounded in the understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all path through therapy. Together, we work to understand your experiences, recognise patterns, and discover ways of responding that feel more authentic and sustainable. My practice integrates Drama and Movement Psychotherapy with embodied psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems-informed practice, developmental trauma theory, attachment theory and psychodynamic thinking. Depending on what feels appropriate, sessions may include conversation, movement, imagery, metaphor, creative expression or gentle attention to bodily experience. No prior experience with movement or the arts is needed, these are simply different ways of exploring experiences that can sometimes be difficult to put into words. I have a particular interest in working with individuals experiencing burnout, perfectionism, loneliness, relationship patterns, self-worth concerns, grief, life transitions, creative blocks and the long-term impact of developmental or relational trauma. I also enjoy supporting people who are exploring questions of identity, belonging, purpose and the complexities of being human in today's world. I see therapy as a collaborative relationship built on curiosity, compassion and respect. Rather than offering quick solutions or advice, I aim to create a space where you can better understand yourself, strengthen your relationship with your emotions and body, and develop the psychological flexibility to navigate life's challenges with greater awareness and choice.”
