About me

Natasha Williot 


Dramatherapist - Counselor - Naturopath

I started my private practice in the middle of Covid to fulfill the population's rising need for personal connection and social bonding through isolation. I've been practicing in my Verdun office and online since 2022.

After an anti-violence training through the Centre for Response-Based Practice, I've specialised in supporting folx victimised by violence, including systemic violence such as racism, homophobia, colonialism, ableism, and transphobia.

l offer different options to meet everyone's abilities, and needs.

I want to continue to grow and build the drama therapy community. It is important to me that everyone finds their place in it, in the way that is right for them. 

I am a bisexual, neurodivergent, white 3rd-generation settler of Dutch and French descent. My pronouns are she/her. My origin from an immigrant, multicultural, multilingual family has been central to my (lack of) sense of belonging and continues to informs the way I work with my clients from the neurodivergent, 2SLGBTQ+, Native, and multicultural communities.


Beliefs that guide my interventions:

  • You have an innate capacity for creativity. Our work is to unlock it.
  • The body and stories carry wisdom.
  • You are the expert on your own story.à
  • You act the way you do for a reason in response to your environment and the systems that oppress.
  • Being hurt is not the same as being broken.
  • You are not a machine and therefore you can always heal.There is no 'right' or 'wrong' emotion. Every emotion has a purpose and a message to convey.
  • People resist violence and heal when their story is seen and accepted.
