Hello, I am Jan
I have built an eclectic mix of skills and incorporate the creative into whatever work I do. I have extensive experience working with sexual abuse, trauma, anxiety, and self harm, across populations such as families, adolescents, children and groups. I am a registered ACC provider. My work life has involved working for, amongst others, Start, Stop, Project Restore, Barnardos UK and Childtime - a UK children’s charity.
My role is to listen, understand, witness, suggest, walk alongside, support and just be with another person in whatever state or place they may find themselves in. My biggest teachers have been the clients I have been lucky enough to work with who have inspired me to continue to do this work.
I have a private practice in my own studio in Lyttelton. I facilitate dance classes and workshops in Open Floor movement practice. I run art and dance workshops in Christchurch exploring common themes of being alive and embracing your humanity. I offer individual sessions; group work; and supervision for counsellors.
