Abstract
This article explores the benefits and obstacles of using the outside environment for dramatherapy practice with particular reference to children with social emotional mental health (SEMH) issues. I explore the benefits and challenges that the outside environment can provide for children with SEMH issues and other client groups. Through the literature available at present, dramatherapists Steve Mitchell and Martin Cope have practised in this area, but most publications can be found in eco-psychology. The methodology for the study uses qualitative research methods, coding two interviews with dramatherapists who use the outside environment for practice and supported by the author's own casework with children with SEMH issues. In the discussion, obstacles and benefits of outdoor dramatherapy for children with SEMH issues are considered.
