Donna Savery
Donna Christina Savery is a psychotherapist and group therapist in private practice in Buckinghamshire and Harley Street, London. At Exeter University she carried out research for her MA which involved working with schizophrenic patients, using drama and myth, an experience which sparked a lifelong interest in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Following a career as a theatre director and academic, she retrained in 2010 as an existential therapist, beginning her career at MIND.

Her clinical work combines different aspects of these trainings and she is never far away from her drama roots in her understanding and approach to working with her patients.
