Finding space to feel, move and reflect
Sometimes, things can feel too much. Or not enough.
Maybe you’re navigating a difficult relationship, a persistent anxiety, or a sense of disconnection that’s hard to put into words. You might feel overwhelmed, exhausted, shut down, or find yourself moving at speed, not quite sure why.
In therapy, we begin to explore these experiences with care and curiosity. I offer a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach that listens not just to the mind, but to the body. This work isn’t about fixing you, it’s about beginning to understand how your body has learned to protect you, to carry emotion, to signal need, and to hold experience.
Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we pause. Sometimes we move. There’s no pressure to be a certain way here. Just space to arrive as you are.
Dance Movement Psychotherapy
As human beings, our earliest sense of self develops through movement. Before we speak, we reach out, roll, crawl, and step into new experiences. Our bodies shape how we feel, how we relate, how we seek comfort, how we defend, and how we retreat.
Dance Movement Psychotherapy draws on this foundational truth—that the body holds memory, emotion, and story. It offers space to begin understanding not only what you think, but how you feel—physically, emotionally, relationally.
You don’t need any experience in dance. This work isn’t about performance. It’s about expression, awareness, and connection. Sessions are attuned to your pace and comfort, whether you move, sit, speak, or stay in silence.
In a world that often rewards thinking over feeling, this work gently interrupts the tendency to over-intellectualise past or present experiences. It supports the development of emotional, embodied, and relational intelligence—offering insight into attachment styles, behavioural patterns, and ways of relating that may have once been protective, but now feel limiting or confusing.
Together, we explore the self in relation to the self—and in relation to others. From this understanding comes the potential for greater compassion, curiosity, and the possibility of meaningful change.
