School Sessions

Therapeutic D&D uses the power of collaborative fantasy roleplaying to support emotional literacy, confidence, and teamwork in young people. Facilitated by an experienced practitioner, students become heroes in a guided narrative that mirrors real-life challenges in a safe, engaging way.

Educational and Emotional Benefits:

  • Builds social confidence and communication

  • Encourages creative problem-solving and empathy

  • Supports students with SEND and SEMH needs

  • Offers structured emotional processing through play

Why It Works

Unlike traditional interventions, Therapeutic D&D allows children to explore identity, responsibility, and teamwork in a way that feels like play. Stories are adapted in real time to reflect the students’ needs and growth.

We are able to travel to most schools in Greater Manchester and The High Peak.
