Actor and Presenter Charlotte Drablow Enrols in Postgraduate Psychology Programme, First in Family to Reach Master's Level

LONDON, United Kingdom — September 13, 2026 — Charlotte Drablow, an actor, presenter and voiceover artist, has enrolled in a postgraduate qualification in Psychology in Mental Health, according to a statement released this week. Drablow, who holds a BA (Hons) in Applied Psychology and Criminology, is the first member of her family to attend university and the first to study at master's level.

Drablow was raised on a council estate in Berkshire, United Kingdom. She said no one in her family had previously entered higher education or the creative industries.

"I don't come from a family where university was something people automatically expected to do," Drablow said. "I was the first person to really consider it as an option, so getting through a degree and then progressing into postgraduate study still feels slightly surreal."

Drablow said her study of psychology has influenced her creative work, particularly in understanding human behaviour, motivation, communication and emotional responses. Her academic interests include how these factors shape character and performance.

"Psychology has changed how I look at people," she said. "When I'm working on a character, I automatically want to understand what they want, what they are trying to hide and why they react the way they do."

Alongside her studies, Drablow has worked across television, film, comedy, commercial projects, radio, podcasting and presenting. Her broadcast experience includes BBC Radio Berkshire and ITV News Meridian. She appeared as a debate host for The Essence Vault in advertising produced by MTRX Media. She also previously co-hosted Cursed & Curious, a UK podcast covering paranormal, history and mystery subjects, with writer Beth Whitaker.

Drablow developed her career independently rather than through a traditional drama-school network or family connections. She said growing up on a council estate meant there were no established professional pathways into acting, broadcasting or higher education, and she built experience through individual opportunities across several areas of performance.

"I think getting into university in the first place changed what I thought was possible," Drablow said. "Doing postgraduate study while also building a creative career has made me realise that there doesn't have to be one prescribed route into either world."

Drablow continues to work across acting, presenting and voiceover projects while completing her postgraduate studies.
