Do you sometimes feel limited by words? Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP) offers an alternative to talking therapies. As our bodies hold the unconscious aspects of ourselves, movement-based therapy can be particularly effective in addressing feelings held somatically in the body. Dance Movement Psychotherapists believe that changes in the body & movement patterns are reflected in the mind & thinking patterns and vice versa.
DMP can help you feel more attuned to your body, support emotional regulation, reduce stress, improve confidence, and help to form a stronger sense of Self.
DMP can reduce anxiety and stress and increase aliveness. Therapy follows a talk-move-talk structure, allowing integration of non-verbal, symbolic, and verbal aspects. Movement props, music, and art materials are used to support the process. DMP is a relational approach where the therapist commonly moves alongside you. No previous experience is required.
I offer a safe, contained, and confidential therapy environment where you can arrive fully as you are. I value a calm, reflective, person-centered approach where you can gradually and safely begin to form a relationship and integrate verbal and non-verbal aspects of yourself.
Do not hesitate to get in touch with me to book a free phone consultation.
