Course Description

These Short Courses offer a theoretical and practical introduction to Dance Movement Psychotherapy, combining psychotherapeutic principles with embodied, movement-based practices.  Practical workshops form the backbone of the courses and will provide you with an opportunity to express, explore and reflect on the Dance Movement Psychotherapeutic Process directly. Theoretical connections will emerge from the material shared in these groups. In this way, you will learn from theory that directly emerges from experience. These courses are facilitated by a qualified and experienced registered dance movement psychotherapists. 

All our Arts and Play Therapy Short Courses at Roehampton are experiential in nature. In our classes, you'll have the opportunity to take part in hands on activities, completing exercises and techniques to put theory into practice. 

Who are these courses for?  

These courses are perfect for participants looking to develop their understanding of Arts and Play Therapies. They may be of particular interest to people working in health and social care, education, dance, the arts or with a general interest in the subject. They would also be of interest to those looking for a career change or planning to undertake formal training.  

Please note that the completion of any Dance Movement Psychotherapy Short Course does not allow you to practice Dance Movement Psychotherapy or guarantee a place on the qualifying Master's degree. Although these courses are experiential in nature, they are not intended to provide therapy, as such, to participants.
