​Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP) is a psychotherapeutic approach that uses body movement to explore, express, and integrate emotional, cognitive, and sensory experiences. Grounded in somatic and relational practices, it recognises the body as a source of insight, often capable of expressing what words cannot.

 

DMP is a gentle yet powerful embodied process that supports the integration of aspects of the self that may have been ignored or suppressed due to traumatic or oppressive experiences. Within a safe and confidential therapeutic relationship, clients are invited to reconnect with themselves and explore new ways of relating to others and the world.

 

Each session is unique and shaped by the client’s needs, preferences, and emotional state. Sessions often combine verbal dialogue, movement, dance, body awareness, and creative expression.

 

This somatic approach can be particularly beneficial in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, isolation, and disconnection, as well as supporting recovery from experiences such as eating disorders, sexual abuse, gender-based violence, or trauma. DMP can also strengthen the sense of belonging, community, and emotional well-being.

It is accessible to everyone, regardless of mobility or previous dance experience.
