How often the session will be?
We can discuss together to carefully consider your needs. Therapy can be scheduled weekly, at the same time and location.
​
Sometimes it is hard to put difficult thoughts and feelings into words. Therapists can help you to communicate and express yourself through using movement. Also, having the opportunity to share in words what you have experienced.
Individual sessions
Depending on clients' needs and preferences.
Group sessions
Using "talk-move-talk" structure.
​
Begin with a few minutes to share how you are feeling,
followed by some "warm up" movements.
​
After warm up you may use props, music, movement or art materials to creatively process your feelings and thoughts.
​
In the end, there is time for talking about how the movement felt and how it helps us to understand ourselves.
