My Approach
My Process
Therapy is a process of gathering information in order to make sense of your experiences, both past and present.
Once you have gathered information and found ways to understand what you have discovered, it then becomes yours to use, allowing you to make choices about how you want to live in relationship to both yourself and others.
Working in a embodied way means that when engaged in this process of discovery and understanding you are paying attention not just to your mind, but also to your body and brain.
It allows you to explore, express and understand in a complete and integrated way. Something that is essential to making lasting, meaningful change.
Dance Movement Psychotherapy
DMP is a creative, body based psychotherapy that allows for movement, as well as spoken expression.
Sometimes this involves finding big, percussive movements that use lots of space and energy. Sometimes it’s about exploring an experience of stillness, quietness and just ‘being’. Often it involves both- and everything in between.
It is always a process that is individual to each person and their body, and is guided by their unique experience and story.
My particular approach as a therapist is one that blends together the creativity of DMP and the arts, with the body knowledge, and wisdom that I have gained from other somatic interests including yoga and mindfulness.
But relationship is key within a therapeutic process, and it might take you a few attempts to find a therapist that you feel is the right fit for you. So I hope this information is a useful starting point but please do contact me for an initial session or telephone consultation in order to explore further the possibility of working together.
