Working creatively with movement to bring sustained improvements to mental health and well being: Dance Movement Psychotherapy Scotland (DMPS) is creating a ‘hub’ for dance movement psychotherapy (DMP) that will nurture a strong professional identity in the Scottish community.

Dance Movement Psychotherapy is based on the principles that movement reflects an individual ’s pattern of thinking and feeling. Through acknowledging and supporting a client’s nonverbal expression the therapist encourages development and integration of movement patterns and explores the emotional experiences that accompany increased insight.
