ANNA TOWNEND – DANCE MOVEMENT PSYCHOTHERAPIST
MORE COMING SOON
My name is Anna. I’m a psychotherapist and I work primarily through dance and movement; creativity and the body; image, metaphor and ritual.
This way of working can be inspiring for some, daunting for others. But there are no expectations for you to be anything other than yourself. I’ll meet you where you are.
Our mind is our whole body. Have you ever felt panic or worry as a tightening in your chest? Or experienced feeling depressed as if your whole body was weighted and drooping to the ground?
We are all walking stories; our joyful memories and traumatic experiences alike are held in our body memory.
Research in neuroscience, psychology and the arts tells us that working with the body and movement invites your whole self to be present and self, in aids us in the processes of integration, change and renewal.
