Metta Tharapies

Mindfulness teaches skills to enable a child to be able to cope with difficult emotions, e.g. anger and sadness. By teaching a variety of practices (meditations), the child will learn how to live in the “present moment”. The programme teaches how to quieten the inner critic and to understand thoughts are not facts. To teach gratitude and compassion for others, but more importantly themselves.

Every child is unique and at the Helen O’Grady Drama Academy all of our students are treated equally and given the opportunity to shine, regardless of their level of confidence or ability. We avoid auditions and ensure all our students feel encouraged and nurtured within our classes, enabling them to develop at their own pace. With a focus on personalisation, each teacher at the Academy seeks to gradually integrate their students within the group until they are fully immersed in the fun classroom environment and unaware of any inhibitions they may have had before joining us.
