ABOUT ME

Eleonora Carpi

I am a dance movement psychotherapist and clinical supervisor based in South East London. I qualified in Dance Movement Psychotherapy (MA) at Roheampton University in 2017, and I completed the one year Diploma in Creative Approaches to Supervision at the London Centre for Psychodrama in 2021.

I facilitate individual and group therapy sessions across prisons and community settings and in private practice. I also provide supervision and reflective practice spaces to different practitioners. I bring to my practice my passion for movement and body awareness, an innate curiosity about human nature, and a warm and authentic presence.

My background

I was born in Genoa, Italy, where I completed my BA (Hons) in Philosophy with a research project on Body-politics and the Anthropology and Sociology of the Bodies. Alongside my studies I have always been a passionate mover. I have studied modern jazz dance since I was 6 years old and during my BA I have taken a four years course in Theatre Dance.
These combined aspects of my background have led me to integrate theories into practice by moving to London and doing the MA in Dance Movement Psychotherapy at Roheampton University.

ABOUT MY WORK

Professional experience

After qualifying, I have worked for more than two years with women, children and young people survivors of domestic violence with Solace Women’s Aid, and with women survivors of human trafficking and seeking asylum with Hibiscus Initiatives.
My current work is focused on supporting the wellbeing of adults with mental health difficulties coming from different ethnic minorities with Bromley Lewisham and Greenwich Mind, and on providing therapeutic interventions for young people in prison and in the community with Belong.

Alongside this, I also work in private practice with adults and adolescents, and as a clinical supervisor with arts therapists and other mental health practitioners. I collaborate with the MA in DMP at Roehampton University supervising students’ clinical placements.

Moving Pathways

The name Moving Pathways captures the core of my work. It comes from the double meaning of “moving”, which means both the act of movement and touching/affecting someone with feeling/emotions; while the word “pathways” brings the sense of being on a journey and potentially discovering new ways and paths.

I am not interested in how people move, but what moves them.
