My practice offers a distinctive integration of Authentic Movement and Dance Movement Psychotherapy, combining the free, inward-led exploration of Authentic Movement with the therapeutic framework and clinical skills of DMP.

Authentic Movement invites you to move with curiosity and openness, guided by inner impulses rather than external choreography or expectations. This spontaneous movement becomes a powerful pathway into deeper self-awareness, emotional expression, and connection to the body’s wisdom.

Within the context of Dance Movement Psychotherapy, this spontaneous movement is held in a relational, safe, and reflective space where meaning can emerge through the dialogue between movement, feelings, and narrative. My approach honours the essential qualities of Authentic Movement, the witness and mover relationship, the non-judgmental presence, and the invitation to move from within, while also bringing the therapeutic intention, assessment, and clinical insights that DMP offers. This combination creates a rich, embodied therapeutic experience that supports healing, transformation, and integration on multiple levels.

Clients benefit from this blend by gaining access to their unconscious material, encouraging emotional regulation, and exploring personal narratives through movement rather than words alone. It’s a deeply embodied process that respects the body’s intelligence and encourages self-compassion, resilience, and empowerment. Whether you are seeking support through trauma, stress, or personal growth, this integrated approach provides a uniquely gentle yet profound way to reconnect with yourself and your life’s unfolding.
