WELCOME

I am Susan Scarth, a senior movement psychotherapist with 35 years experience across many state and voluntary organisations. In my Private Practice I offer a creative and calm space to work together towards improved mental and physical health - to reach ‘bodyfulness’ (C. Caldwell, 2018).

The body and mind are entirely connected - a unity - and movement psychotherapy aims to make sense of the blocks, confusions, and overwhelming experiences, to reach a balanced and grounded sense of self.

I can support you to reduce

• anxiety

• depression

• developmental and attachment issues

• trauma & PTSD

• minor and chronic physical ailments; back pain, aching legs, shoulder pain, headaches

• relationships at home and at work

• low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence

• communication issues; difficulties in expressing yourself with others, assertiveness, listening

And I offer

• individual movement psychotherapy

• EMDR as an integrative tool for trauma related issues

• clinical supervision incorporating creative tools

• consultancy, mentoring and teaching in Dance Movement Therapy/Psychotherapy professional trainings in Europe

• Laban Bartenieff Movement System studies
