Find A Psychotherapist - Ms Anna Chesner

Senior Trainer at London Centre for Psychodrama Group and Individual Psychotherapy.

Private practice: I run a weekly psychodrama psychotherapy group (see below) as well as individual psychotherapy and couples work.

I run four experiential psychodrama weekends a year which are held at the Maudsley Hospital and are a space for personal therapeutic work through psychodrama.

Supervision: I supervise individuals, teams and groups including within the NHS, where I have links to the Maudsley Hospital.

I am trained as a dramatherapist and as a group analytic psychotherapist, and integrate these approaches in my psychodrama practice. I am an active member of the playback theatre community, attached to London Playback Theatre and the School of Playback Theatre UK.
