DMT Experience
I have worked in the field of dance movement therapy and dance movement psychotherapy for 35 years offering therapy, psychotherapy, workshops and supervision.
I primarily focus on childhood developmental trauma and mental health presentations.
I supervise DMTs, DMPs, as well as bodyworkers, social workers, somatic psychotherapists, psychologists, and counsellors.
Description

My therapeutic work is informed by Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis and the psychodynamic Self Psychology framework which places empathic, affective attunement and responsiveness at the centre of the work.

My supervision approach is three faceted:

1. I observe/listen to my supervisee carefully to ensure that I understand how he/she/they work.

2. With them I explore their movement work and it’s associated psychological meaning and effects through the lense of LBMS and somatics.

3. Together we try to understand relational and intersubjective enactments using a psychodynamic Self Psychological framework.
