A great opportunity to work with Penelope Best in Australia

Penelope Best's extensive practice as a senior dance movement psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, international trainer and researcher supports her continued curiosity about the importance of the body within relationship. As President of the European Network for Dance Therapy (2007-2010) she is keenly aware of different views about core elements of therapeutic practice and training. With Dr Beatrice Allegranti, she has recently co-created the first UK accredited DMP supervision training. She is fascinated by the influence of cultural differences and has initiated and runs professional DMP trainings in Warsaw, Poland, Croatia and the Netherlands. She is an Honorary Fellow of ADMP UK, External Examiner for Derby University DMP Masters, Fellow of Higher Education Academy, consultant to the profession, and maintains both private therapy and supervisory practices while publishing regularly. She enjoys facilitating opportunities for learning, using mixed creative materials and critical reflexivity. . Her main area for research is the relational spaces within clinical supervision. Penelope is well known to us in Australia (as Penny) from several visits between 2000 and 2006 to provide professional development and supervision for Australian dance-movement therapists.
