Authentic Moves – Dance-movement therapy
Dance has been fundamental to human life and culture since the time of our earliest ancestors. It is a vital form of self-expression and offers a medium of communication that does not rely on words alone.
When dancing, clients can explore thoughts and feelings in new ways as well as thoughtfully visualising desired future pathways. This therapeutic approach draws upon the elements of dance, movement systems, counselling and creativity to support emotional growth and enhanced wellbeing.
Prior dance experience is not necessary.
‘Sally you were the only person who did not ask me how I felt about what had happened…. and I had no words to describe how I felt. But when we danced, I learnt about my feelings, and then I learnt about myself’ – young client 15 years old
Individual sessions for adults, young people and children are available at Castlemaine Play therapy and small group sessions are offered from time to time.
