Therapy Sessions

Each  session is individual to the person I am working with. The main goal is to create a safe and compassionate space where you can bring what you want to explore. You don’t need to wear anything special, but may find it easier to work in clothes that are easy for you to move around in. It can be helpful to start with a brief physical warm up, which would involve some focused breathing, noticing how your body feels in the moment, and getting things moving a bit. 

We can make use of a variety of creative props that support movement exploration, or items that can be used in other creative ways - for instance making marks on paper, forming clay, or making music with small instruments. 

There is no expectation to launch straight into movement, so we can take our time by checking in verbally first if this feels right for you. You can talk as much or as little as you want in sessions, whether this is just at the beginning and end or at intervals in our session. 

I keep an eye on the time to ensure that there is some cushion around the session ending, and you feel prepared to return to your day.

What Does a Dance Movement Psychotherapy Session Look Like?


Your needs don’t need to fit in a box, but I’ve previously worked with adults in the community and have supported with a variety of needs including:

  • depression/low mood

  • low self-esteem

  • anxiety

  • life change

  • relational difficulties

  • anger

  • chronic pain/health problems and the impact this has on day to day life

I have also worked with adults with a learning disability, including those who are non-verbal.

Who is Dance Movement Psychotherapy for?


I am based at Dialogue & Space on Albion Road. I work in a large, cosy room with lots of natural light. There are sofas and chairs, as well as plenty of floor (and ceiling) space for movement. There is good sound-proofing between rooms to support confidentiality and safety in sessions.

Please note that the room I use is on the first floor without access to a lift. You will need to climb a flight of stairs to reach the room. 

The Space


Therapy sessions last for 50-minutes and cost £60. I offer a concessionary rate to students of £50.

I also offer a fixed amount of low cost slots, if you would like to find out if any are available please get in touch with me 

Appointments are on Monday afternoons.
