First review out for The Mikado and it’s a good one - so I’m sharing it #MD

Imposter syndrome hits hard in the theatre world—whether you're backstage, onstage, producing, agenting - it can hit us all
Counselling helps you stop waiting to be “found out” and start believing you do belong.

In theatre, we’re trained to push through—ignore the red flags, say yes to every opportunity, and hope things improve. But at what cost? Burnout, toxic environments, and self-doubt creep in.

Spot the signs. Set boundaries. You deserve better.

That inner critic can be loud, but self-growth comes from kindness, not self-punishment. Talk to yourself the way you’d talk to a friend.

When life feels like a constant balancing act, it’s easy to believe we have to handle it all alone. But nobody was meant to juggle everything without support.

🎭 It’s okay to ask for help.

🎭 Catastrophic thinking: "What if it all falls apart?"
That spiral of "what-ifs" can keep you from enjoying the magic of performing. Counselling helps break those patterns and build confidence.

🎭 Are you masking stress?
Sometimes we seem calm on the outside, but inside, it feels like one more thing could topple everything. Masking stress makes it harder to handle.

Performers often adapt to so many personas that it’s easy to lose touch with their true selves. Counselling helps you reconnect with the real you—the one who exists beyond the stage.

Make 2025 the year you invest in you

Gee the disinformation over on X really is something

Wolfed at The RVT review: ‘Camp, clever, and completely bonkers’ This must-see Christmas panto is "chaotic, weird, and unapologetically queer, with a cast who clearly love every moment as much as the audience does," writes Attitude's Dale Fox

“The musical numbers are all spectacular”. Happy to take that #MD

As ever my initial consultation is free (with no obligation)

YouTube video by Annemarie Lewis Thomas Oh My, Nellie Bly

youtu.be/7-0Xq9_w7rU?... the amazing story of Nellie Bly is a musical. From 10 days in a Madhouse to travelling around the world it’s a fascinating true life story. Incredibly useful show for any groups with limited men - original production done with 15 girls and 1 bloke!

Macbeth – Actors’ Church, London - The Reviews Hub Writer: William Shakespeare Director: Sioned Jones It’s not often that Macbeth opens with a toe-tapping musical number, but Shakespeare in the Squares’ new offering is determined to keep this blood-so...

A lovely review for Shakespeare in the Square’s Macbeth www.thereviewshub.com/macbeth-acto... Nice to get a mention in the review too #theatre #composer #MD
