My Approach

Movement psychotherapy pays attention to the whole person in movement (which includes stillness). Movement psychotherapists understand that our life experiences (from birth to the present) are registered and recorded as mind memories and as body memories through our movement. So we work with the ‘whole picture’ that the client brings. This includes the thoughts and feelings that you describe, the way you talk and tell your story, the way you walk, sit, stand and move around, the physical sensations you describe, your gestures and postures.

About Me

I have been working as a movement psychotherapist since 2002 when I graduated from the University of Roehampton, London. In 2009 I completed my PhD exploring the relationship between notions of self, body, environment, change, habit and choice. In 2014 I completed a year’s training in Family and Systemic Therapy at the University of Plymouth and the Creative Approaches to Supervision training at the London School of Psychodrama.

I have been passionate about the relationship between movement, attitude, habits, choice and health all my life. I have worked with children and with adults in many different situations and, since 2009, I have developed my own private practice in West Dorset, working primarily with adults, including therapy trainees.
