Movement Psychotherapy, also known as Dance Movement Psychotherapy, is one of the four creative art therapies (Dance, Music, Art and Drama).

 

Movement Psychotherapy focuses on the mind body connection, and works on the principle that what is felt in the mind impacts on the body and vice-versa. It recognises the body’s movement as an expressive tool for communication, and uses the body’s movement and dance, to explore, support and enhance physical and mental wellbeing.

 

Movement and dance are universal languages, which all can experience. Movement Psychotherapy can be explored by all ages and abilities, and no previous experience of Movement Psychotherapy or dance is required.

Movement Psychotherapy can be offered on an individual or small group basis. The process begins with an initial meeting to determine what is to be explored, and to set any aims or goals for the sessions. Regular sessions can then be provided on a short or a long term basis as required.
