Background

About Michelle Zerafa

I am a warranted counsellor, theatre arts practitioner and a lecturer. I love the work that I do. It is part and parcel with my philosophy and my style of life. I 'live' through the work that I do. I 'breathe' the work that I do. I am passionate and strive to perfection. I am positive. My creativity provides me with the opportunity to elicit colour in grey areas. My sense of adventure and perseverance lend me on innovative projects. I have worked for a number of years in the psychosocial education sector and in theatre arts. I am trained in psychology, theatre arts, education and counselling. My dissertation Voices expressed!Development of Maltese mental health practitioners' narratives of injustice through Theatre of the Oppressed techniques, included an actual intervention using drama in the mental health context. Thanks to another three mental health practitioners, it landed me to The President's Award for Creativity 2016/2017. The project aimed at using theatrical creative expression to help core participants explore their issues, and also express their voices. I love to learn. I am fascinated by nature, mindfulness, fusions and the power of connection.
