Dance Movement Therapy Assessment Call

Service Description

This is an assessment call slot for parents/carers to book if you're interested in your child accessing Dance & Movement Psychotherapy with Rosie at Bridge the Gap. Rosie is a MA Dance Movement Psychotherapist (DMP) registered under The Association of Dance Movement Psychotherapy. She also holds a BA (Hons) degree in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. "I am a creative psychotherapist who uses elements of play, art, crafts, movement, music etc to support individuals in exploring mental health, understanding emotions, discovering regulation techniques, building self-confidence/acceptance, whilst feeling accepted and welcome within the space. Within my work, my aim is to provide a safe space for individuals to explore their own needs, interests, emotions and to support self-discovery. I have previously supported children with a range of mental health and SEND needs including (but not limited to): • Understanding diagnosis and gaining acceptance of SEND (including ASD, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Speech Language and Communication Needs etc). • Supporting attachment disorders and developmental delay. • Supporting individuals with selective mutism or who are non-verbal. • Childhood anxiety, bullying, school avoidance etc. • Understanding own emotions and regulation techniques. • Understanding self, gaining self-confidence, self-belief, acceptance etc. Within my sessions, I am extremely adaptable to allow to be client-led (commonly taking a humanistic approach). I like to take this approach so that clients can use the space to explore what they feel is necessary at that specific time and to support their needs effectively. I like to incorporate individual interests and preferences within sessions and intervention used will be adapted to match/include these interests. This enables a welcoming setting, whilst allowing me to build effective relationships and a strong understanding of my clients. Within previous work I have been recognised as reliable, caring, approachable and comforting. I trained as a psychotherapist after seeing the benefits that creativity and the arts can have when supporting mental health and individuals with SEND. I’m able to see how creativity provides a pathway and connection for individuals to discover, explore and understand themselves whilst supporting their relationships, communication and confidence around others." Rosie is offering sessions at Bridge the Gap on a Friday afternoon - book this assessment call in order to start.
