St Catherine’s therapy team continually tries to find new ways to support students' well-being and mental health. As part of this initiative, in September 2023, an in-school Dance Movement Psychotherapist joined our therapy team.

Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP) uses dance, movement and body responses to understand lived experiences and to express and communicate thoughts, feelings and emotions. 

This is really useful in our work with children and young people with speech, language and communication needs, as it allows them to express themselves creatively and playfully, without relying on verbal communication.
