Sessions Offered:

I am a UKCP-registered group and individual psychodrama psychotherapist with extensive experience in hospital and rehabilitation settings as well as in private practice in London.

My work at Moon focuses on helping women navigate the roles visited upon them by bodily, hormonal and psychological change, exploring ways in which to transform obstacles into empowerment and frustration into curiosity. Presentations include:

  • Premenstrual Syndrome
  • Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
  • Miscarriage
  • IVF journey
  • Pregnancy
  • Breastfeeding challenges
  • Perinatal and/or postnatal depression and/or psychotic symptoms
  • Perimenopause.

An initial consultation, whilst tailored to your unique needs, will generally include creating a visual of your challenge(s) either using art, colours or small objects. Psychodrama is all about identifying the roles we embody in any one moment (e.g. practitioner, client, mother, woman, partner, worker, eater, feeder...), understanding their nuances and what is needed for some roles to be developed, supported, diminished or evolved in order for meaningful change to happen, whether that is in response to your body and mind or to others you feel impact your life and health. You may wish to simply identify these in a single session or to go forward with a time-limited or open-ended course of psychodrama psychotherapy for us to navigate the journey together.

I trained between 2015 and 2023 at the London Centre for Group and Individual Psychotherapy and have worked in both NHS and private hospital and rehabilitation settings with both groups and individuals as well as in private practice since 2018.

I am currently developing a strand of psychodrama work specifically for couple role work, and have a particular interest in the potential of psychodrama to help women strengthen their relationships with their evolving bodies and the resulting impact on mind, self-image and self-perception.

Join us on Friday as we talk with Alma Vignal about her intriguing upcoming sessions. Trusting the Inner Guide: The Story of Vasilisa 'The Doll in Your Pocket' As women we call upon our intuition and instincts in order to sniff things out. We use all our senses to wring the truth from things, to extract nourishment from our own ideas, to see what there is to see, to know what there is to know. (Clarissa Pinkola Estés) Guided by the timeless folk tale of Vasilisa— a powerful story about learning to trust ones inner voice— and inspired by Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ rich exploration of the tale in her book Women Who Run with the Wolves.  An intimate 3-hour antenatal workshop held at Moon Women’s Health for pregnant women. This workshop is an opportunity to explore your intuition— the quiet, steady inner knowing that guides us through life’s thresholds.

Happy Mother's Day! 💛 We’re sharing something very close to our hearts today. We're fundraising to keep the doors of our local New Mama & Parent Drop-In open for the next three months — and we need the community's help. Since June 2024, Moon Community Health's free Drop-In has welcomed over 500 local parents and babies. Every session brings together six health specialists under one roof — breastfeeding support, women's health physio, sleep consultancy, emotional health, baby-wearing, weaning and more. No appointment. No waiting list. No cost. Support that would cost hundreds of pounds privately — free to every family that needs it. 💙 We're hoping to raise £2,100 to fund the next three sessions (April–June 2026). Each session costs £700 to run and we have no ongoing government funding — so every pound genuinely makes a difference. If you can spare anything at all, please donate via the link in our bio to our Crowdfunding page. And if you can't donate right now, simply sharing this with someone who might is just as valuable. Thank you so much. 🙏 🔗 Donate via link in bio.
