Body Movement Psychotherapy is a form of psychotherapy that not only uses words but also uses the body, movement and creative processes to make sense of personal experiences and move through times of difficulty. Our individual histories, thoughts and feelings all impact on us emotionally but also physically. By safely including physical aspects such as sensations and preferred ways of moving in therapy, personal transformation and change can be experienced at a deep level. Often when we get stuck or run out of answers, using mindfulness practices, working more creatively and listening to bodily cues can help guide us. Recent advances in neuro scientific research also gives support to this idea by helping to explain more about the significance of the connections between our bodies, minds, emotions and our ability to heal.
I work with the whole person in mind, bringing experience and sensitivity to different traditions, personal, cultural and spiritual beliefs and many different world views.
Clients do not have to have any prior experience of body work or using creative art forms to benefit from this type of psychotherapy.
Sessions may include the use of verbal and non-verbal elements to help support the connection between different aspects of themselves, facilitating self awareness, self expression and personal growth.
If you have any questions or need to clarify more about this way of working please do contact me to discuss further.
