Sarah Boreham

Dance Movement Psychotherapist

Registered Dance Movement Psychotherapist and creative arts practitioner, educator, writer, researcher and philosopher. Trained in working with adult, children and young people and families with trauma of all kinds. I have worked for 30 years in arts, healthcare and education, my particular areas of interests are incorporating and making connections using the non- verbal and verbal building a bridge between mind, body, expression and development.

I have worked in multidisciplinary teams as a therapist within the NHS, private practice, community and third sector organisations for the last 10 years, with a special interest in mental health, neurodiversity and PTSD. I have also designed and delivered workshops, courses in education and presented at conferences in the UK and internationally, for many years more recently on Dartmoor.

In my non-working time, I’m interested in embodied therapeutic practice-based research and have been recently published in my field of Dance Movement Psychotherapy, these include areas such as moving in nature during the pandemic, the therapist body; what and how we cultivate self-care.

I am thrilled to be working at the Apricot Centre because I am increasing drawn to the idea that to help our planet thrive and survive we need to be spending more time caring for and valuing it, this then ripples through and we find it easier to care and value each other.
