In Session

'In Session' is an improvised therapy performance, developed and produced by Clinical Psychologists Xi Liu and Saria Green. Blending their expertise in Schema Therapy and creative arts, Saria and Xi devised this show to dismantle the traditional frame of psychotherapy by placing it on the stage. In doing so, they demystify the therapeutic process and create a space for vicarious healing.

Each night will feature Saria and Xi taking turns to play therapist and client, allowing the audience to witness the unfolding of one's innermost self and the healing that follows. The 60-minute improvised performance will be followed by a 30-minute Q&A.

'In Session' debuted at Sydney Fringe Festival 2024, with three sold-out shows and an award nomination for Best in Immersive and Interactive.

"An experience where grief is shared, healing is communal. What a gift."

"A spectacularly unique show."

This show may explore themes of trauma, grief, mental illness, and themes of intersecting racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia.
