Dance Movement Psychotherapist
Individual Therapy
I offer one-to-one therapy on Mondays at Kensington Counselling Rooms close to Gloucester Road underground station in London. Additional sessions will be available on Tuesdays and Fridays from September 2023.
Therapy sessions usually take place weekly for 50 minutes and will be a combination of talking and movement, whichever you are comfortable with. You may choose to work with or without music. The session will finish with a reflection of your experience. Using this pattern we'll build a supportive therapeutic relationship to help you explore your feelings and experience.
Please use the contact form below to make an enquiry. I will get in touch to arrange an initial session to get an understanding of your needs and assess how I can support you best. We will then organise 6-10 sessions to begin with, taking time to ensure that the therapy is effective and a good fit for you. It may be that these sessions are sufficient, or we may decide to continue into the longer term.
Prices
£65 per 50 minute session
£50 reduced rate for students and carers
My fees should not preclude you from accessing therapy; please contact me if you are seeking therapy and on a low income so that we can discuss a level of payment that works for us both.
Group and wellbeing work
I lead group therapy sessions and wellbeing sessions by arrangement, whereby I can come to your premises or I can arrange a space for your participants to come to me. Please use the form below to get in touch.
Group therapy sessions last from 60-90 minutes for up to eight participants. A therapy group is appropriate for people living with long term mental health difficulties, or those who are isolated or vulnerable due to reduced circumstances. I have previously worked in ongoing therapy in care homes and in sheltered accommodation.
Sessions are tailored to the needs of the individuals in the group but may focus on improving body awareness, understanding boundaries, recognising others and connecting with others in the group, building confidence, managing anxiety or relaxation.
Group creativity and wellbeing sessions are typically 90 - 150 minutes long depending on the needs of the participants and work/place setting. They may involve group and individual movement, responding to the environment and context, grounding, relaxation, and sharing of experience and of well-being strategies between colleagues or peers.
Wellbeing sessions are suitable for people within an organisation such as schools, clinics, halls of residence, charities- wherever the demands of the work make it impossible to make time for the needs of the self. I have previously run such workshops for teachers and education support staff, and for trainee psychotherapists.
