Amruta’s (she/her) passion for dance, movement and theatre informs her work as a mental health professional. She has been dancing since childhood and is trained in Indian classical and contemporary styles including Bharatnatyam and Odissi. She juggles her work as a Dramatherapist (HCPC) for children impacted by parental substance misuse at Oasis, UK, having her private practice, and being a Mental Health Consultant. As an India Fellow, Amruta worked in the unique mental health initiative ‘Udaan’ – a first-of-its-kind partnership between Tata Trusts and the Government of Maharashtra. She worked on the Institutional Reform Project and District Mental Health Programme in Nagpur, India. She is vehemently against being boxed in a singular definition and is always on the lookout for new adventures. With her empathy, curiosity and adventurous spirit, Amruta seeks to make Indian philosophies and classical arts more relevant to modern mental healthcare.
