Viewing: Bex Williamson
Bex comes with over 12 years of experience working in the disability sector. She has extensive experience working with people of all abilities including complex needs. She has worked with Children, Teens and Adults, in both group and individual settings. Her key populations are Teens and Adults, with a preference for group work in either a face to face setting or online. Growing up in New Zealand she has a rich respect for indigenous culture, which she endeavours to bring into her practice and teaching, while mindfully navigating her role as Tangata Tiriti.
Bex operates from a Social Model of health, with a critical perspective that recognises intersectionality and social systems as factors to be aware of when working with groups of people. Bex has experience working with mixed ability groups and utilises movement, art and music in groups, as carrier activities to support connection, relationship, social, emotional and life skills. A key consideration of her work is always ‘how can I make this accessible and meaningful to everyone present.’ Her current research thesis endeavour involves compassion. Her special interest areas are ADHD, intersections between mental health & disability and Dance Movement Therapy adaptions for wheelchair users. Her practice is influenced by her background in circus and performance arts. She is one of the trainers on the DMT Diploma course through Dance and Arts therapy NZ.
