About Paula Grech
Paula Grech is a Dance Movement Therapist who works with
clients privately and offers regular workshops in
personal development. Paula is a UK-registered Dance
Movement Psychotherapist (DMP), now resident in France,
and also a member of the Société Française de
Danse-Thérapie (SFDT).
Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP) as defined by the UK
association recognises body movement as an implicit and
expressive instrument of communication and expression.
DMP is a relational process in which clients and
therapist engage in an empathic creative process, using
body movement and dance to assist integration of
emotional, cognitive, physical, social and spiritual
aspects of self.
Paula Grech trained at the Laban Centre in London at
Masters Level and began her practice in schools for
children with special needs, in the community with adult
mental health, family and (NHS) National Health
Services. She’s available on Skype for one-to-one
private sessions. As a health practitioner, she
maintains client confidentiality and adheres to the UK,
French and European Codes of Ethics.
“For the last 17 years,” she says, “my work has enabled
me to use body movement practices to reach people of all
ages and movement abilities. As someone who has always
had a deep love for dance, I care about supporting
others, in a safely-held space, to achieve optimal
health by deepening various communication pathways. I
believe the body has an enormous capacity for healing
and self-realisation. Discovering expressive art forms
and integrating dance, movement, mine, play, voice and
sound are tools for working together with my clients in
the therapeutic space. Jungian psychoanalytical
approaches are reflected in my
practice.”
“I believe we all need a creative outlet of one sort or
another to develop our humane qualities and help
navigate healthier pathways to achieve a balanced
perspective in life. Whatever difficulties you may be
undergoing, dance therapy can help — and especially if
you are feeling depressed, anxious, traumatised or need
help with emotional issues. In sum, dance therapy can
help unblock the body in many ways,”
These days Paula is building her private practice in
Montpellier France, where she’s been living for the last
several years, as well as expanding her various
workshops and retreats, for instance in Malta (where she
spent much of her childhood). She also continues to
develop workshops in the UK (where she grew up and
received her higher education), and offer individual
psychotherapy and personal development support in
groups.
Please contact Paula for individual dance movement
therapy if you are looking for in depth and one to one
support , if you would like to join one of her on-going
weekly groups (North Montpellier) or would like more
information about her Malta Retreats.
