Perhaps you have landed on this page because things aren’t going well for you and you want to look at things another way. It could be your body is telling you something is not right. If you are finding that the things that used to work for you no longer do, it seems logical that more of the same is not going to get you somewhere different. Maybe I can help? I work somatically, which means accessing and enhancing the connection between mind and body. It is an aspect that’s often overlooked in talking therapy, however the body holds meaningful insights into our story and helps us to re-frame the way we look at things

In today’s world we are encouraged to be mindful. Often this is associated with remaining quiet. I will encourage mindfulness, but not necessarily stillness. In other words, I will encourage you to notice body issues and to process them. In this way we can address many concepts. These may include anger, self esteem and depression, but there are many more.

I have a deep understanding of the embodied aspects of psyche and soma, but sessions are not necessarily solemn - there can be fun and laughter. Creativity and playfulness can help to explore difficult themes and bring insight. Over time, we will link body awareness with emotional awareness and creatively identify ways of adapting and living in the world.

Groups

Deeply Moving

Hosted by

Shirley Ann Brocklehurst

Dance Movement Psychotherapy group for adults wishing to explore thoughts and feelings in psychotherapy. Creative and mindful movement is a way of processing emotions and unsticking patterns held in the mind and body. The session is guided, but the movement will come from the participants. Discussion and sharing may happen, but only by choice. Participation is always by invitation rather than expectation. In this group all felt experiences are welcome and useful. Participants are supported to explore their inner world with curiosity and compassion.

Moving the Mood

Hosted by

Shirley Ann Brocklehurst

This is a Movement Psychotherapy group using a mind/body intervention for adults who experiencing depressive symptoms and/or anxiety. The session will be guided, using somatic and movement therapy combined with simple Tai Chi and Qi Gong movements which are chosen for their therapeutic affect. Research suggests that Tai Chi and Qi Gong may help improve your mood if you are depressed or anxious. It’s also believed that the slow, mindful breaths and movements have a positive effect on the nervous system and mood-regulating hormones.
