Profile Summary:
Dance Movement Exploration (DME) is the framework created and used by Alberto. It is anchored within DMT, Physical Activity, and Psychosocial Theories. DME is the search for the inner self leading to a better understanding of one’s emotions and behaviours and an approach in Discovering Meanings in Existence (through de-stressing movement experiences). Integrated strategies are person-centered approach, social development approach (capabilities and inclusion), and psychosocial intervention tool to the members of the community (elderly, women, youth, indigenous, PWD, and marginalised) to link and address issues (trauma cause by shocks). DME is a tool used in recognizing the individual capabilities for healing and empowerment, and as a tool for prevention/intervention in furthering psychosocial well-being towards social change.

Profile Summary:
I use a variety of options in supervision. Case reporting is one. I use Physical Storytelling, Authentic Movement as well as a form called Intervision. In group supervision I encourage supervisees to really think through there bodies while moving and I ground this through the lenses of Laban, Bartenieff and Kestenberg movement systems. Improvisation strongly informs my supervision approach supported by a framework that synthesizes humanistic, developmental, and metaphoric (aesthetic) understanding.

Profile Summary:
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.

Profile Summary:
I use a reflective approach using embodied and verbal inquiry into the therapists’ experience. With embodied enquiry, I utilize the elements of movement, breath, sound and witnessing. Together we try to understand the Therapists internal experience coupled with external relational interactions to facilitate the therapists’ practice. My supervision approach is embedded in a framework that is multifaceted. The primary influences are Poly Vagal informed Dance Movement Therapy (DMT), Humanistic and Existential theories. Polyvagal-informed DMT is a humanitarian approach based on the universality of our physiology.

Profile Summary:
In general, I take reflective approach where we emphasize the on supervisee’s own reflections on personal experience and clinical practices. I invite the supervisee to set an intention for what they’d like to focus on for supervision. Collaborative and creative models are incorporated with embodied & verbal investigation and exploration of unconscious processes and therapeutic relationships. This aligns with my own clinical framework, where I integrate person-centered and psychodynamic frameworks in supervision. I am committed to provide safe, confidential, and supportive supervision where self-care, ethical and practical issues can be openly discussed. I support the students in training and practitioners to return to their SELF and resource themselves in their practice.

Profile Summary:
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 about 3 years. I began working privately since 2023 at a private clinical space, seeing children, young people, adults and couples.
I specialise in preverbal trauma, complex trauma, attachment issues, neurological conditions, eating disorders and neurodiverse populations. I am theoretically grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy including self-psychology and group psychotherapy.
I also offer CPDs (Somatic Body Mapping Intensive) and clinical supervision for professionals.

Profile Summary:
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.

Profile Summary:
The supervisory material I offer embraces the principles of the embodied, creative process with an emphasis on post structural influences. This supervision approach utilizes open, exploratory, non-lineal pathways to attune to what is unique within a therapeutic endeavour, where the therapist can clarify the known and become confident to explore what is not yet known about it. Post structural influences include embracing ambiguity and uncertainty about an event or entity, and sourcing multiple interpretations of, and possibilities for, it. These influences seek to expose what might be taken for granted within the relationship, to be able to consider it differently. Central to this material is the therapist’s intellectualized, kinetic, and kinaesthetic modes of responding to the therapeutic assemblage, where attention is directed toward their aesthetic, sense-based experiences of, and with, it. This supervision material is highly personalized and contextualized, to meet the needs of each therapist and client/s as they are situated.
