About Movement Psychotherapy
Movement Psychotherapy, led by senior movement psychotherapist Susan Scarth, offers a distinctive approach to mental health and wellbeing that integrates psychotherapeutic and body-oriented tools. The practice is regulated by UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and holds additional professional memberships including RSMT/E SP and MCAT.
Individual counselling sessions explore emotional and psychological wellbeing through a movement-informed lens, available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The practice also offers group therapy, including the Expressive Arts Therapies Group held on alternate Friday afternoons, creating space for shared creative exploration and healing.
For those working with trauma, EMDR therapy is available as an integrative tool. Susan has engaged in further studies in EMDR since 2015 and incorporates this evidence-based approach alongside other modalities. Dance movement therapy and sensorimotor psychotherapy are core offerings, using somatic awareness and integration to support clients in reconnecting with their bodies and processing experience at a deeper level.
Qigong classes, taught by Stu Lee—a practitioner and teacher with 25 years of experience—complement the therapeutic offerings, combining movement, breath and mindfulness for physical and mental balance. The practice also provides clinical supervision and mentoring for other practitioners, incorporating creative and body-based tools in both individual and group settings.
Movement Psychotherapy is ideal for anyone seeking therapy that honours the connection between mind and body, whether you are working through specific challenges like trauma, exploring personal growth, or developing somatic awareness. The integrated, creative approach makes it particularly valuable for those who find traditional talk therapy alone insufficient or who wish to deepen their therapeutic work through movement and embodied practice.
