Hi, I’m Audrey!

I’m a Dance Movement Therapist and an Early Childhood lead educator based in Brisbane, Australia. I combine somatics and dance movement therapy to help children and adults build confidence, body awareness, balance, and emotional wellbeing through movement.

My lifelong passion for dance inspires me to help people heal, connect, and grow through movement.

Supervision offered to trainee and professional Dance Movement Therapists working in adjunctive or primary DMT roles. Framework is psychotherapeutic (transference, counter-transference, boundaries, attachment, projective-identification) with key concepts of Dr Marcia B Leventhal (5-part session ©, Stages of Therapeutic Unfolding ©, The Quantum Healing Dance Matrix ©). Focus is on establishing a nurturing, ethical, inclusive, co-created ‘space’ for supervisees and their clients. The supervisee’s dance/movement is understood to be a means through which their clients’ unconscious communication can be accessed, reflected upon and mentalized in a way that may not be accessible in words alone. Movement/dance analysis references Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), metaphor, symbol, embodied trauma, Cameron Kinetic Sensory Studies (KSS) and the developmental life cycle. Supervisees are encouraged over time to establish their own personal integrative model of Dance Movement Therapy.

The American Indian Hopi Tribe have a saying;

“To watch us dance is to hear our hearts speak” 
This for me, is the essence of Dance Movement Therapy. We express emotions when we move. We communicate and we relate. Within our bodies and tissues we hold our memories and experiences, and movement is the language through which I, as a Dance Movement Therapist, can help a person to discover them, heal them, move them or develop them. Movement is life! It is primal, instinctual. It is our first form of communication; our first language. Before we speak, we move, and we move with others to form relationships. With careful attunement to the movement of a person seeking assistance through therapy I can help them to make sense of their movement and explore meaning, emotion and remedy if necessary.

Since I qualified as a dance movement psychotherapist in 2015, I clinically worked in primary schools, special needs schools, a pupil referral unit, prison, NHS mental health hospitals and charities in the United Kingdom and Japan. I facilitated movement-based group psychotherapy groups for teens with neurodiverse backgrounds and psychotic episodes at an NHS psychiatric hospital.

In Japan, I facilitated a dance movement psychotherapy group for women who were socially isolated for many years. I also worked at a psychiatric hospital for older people (60+) who were socially institutionalised for a long time. I learnt to become culturally-informed as a practitioner.

After I moved to South Australia in 2020, I worked mainly with NDIS participants at a clinic for 3 years. Currently, I am in private practice, seeing children, young people and adults. I specialise in preverbal trauma, complex trauma, attachment issues, neurological conditions, eating disorders and neurodiverse populations. I am an approved service provider for Victims of Crime (ACT Human Rights Commission), supporting people affected by acute and chronic traumas. I am theoretically grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy including self-psychology and group psychotherapy.I am a certified clinical supervisor (PACFA/DTAA) and somatic body mapping practitioner. 

Inviting the spirit of collaboration, co-creation, curiosity & compassion into our therapeutic dance, I encourage transparency, reflexivity, & adjustments in attitudes and perspectives. I can offer psychotherapeutic & somatic approaches, but I prefer more exploratory, relational and post-structuralist, or narrative approaches. I like to bring the stories, histories, patterns, orientations, contexts, and hopes into awareness, so that we engage with the forces that shape and pull us.

Working online, in person, with words, movement or touch, I offer support, accompaniment, and scrutiny as we follow the entangled threads, together allowing challenges and experiences to unravel, and the solutions and resolutions to ‘ravel.’ I’m curious about the skills and wisdoms of the people who seek our support, and the social and power constructs we work within. My intention is to weave ourselves into communities, into relationship and into alignment.
