Abigail Nelson
dramatherapist
About me
My name is Abigail Nelson, and I'm a qualified dramatherapist based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
With a background in arts and disability, I'm passionate about providing creative opportunities for individuals and groups to connect, express and explore.
I run a private therapy practice in Leith (Edinburgh) and online, creative wellness workshops and nature retreats, and dramatherapy-led consultancy for theatre, film and television. Check out all my services here.
My unique approach
All of my work, from individual dramatherapy to bespoke workshops and project consultancy, is rooted in embodied, creative practice. I offer a non-judgmental space dedicated to helping you move beyond words and into meaningful action. Whether you are seeking deep personal healing, sustainable team wellness, or an ethical framework for a sensitive creative project, I provide the specialised tools to help you discover authentic expression and reclaim the narrative of your life or work.
