Becca Weber is a Prov. Prof. Dance Movement Therapist (DTAA) and registered Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator (ISMETA), practicing since 2009. She is an Associate Professor in Dance Studies and the Programme Director for both the Masters in Dance Movement Therapy and the Masters in Creative Arts Therapy at the University of Auckland. Becca has a PhD in dance psychology, Masters degrees in somatic wellbeing and dance choreography, and has completed a postgraduate diploma and advanced clinical practicum in DMT through Dance and Arts Therapy NZ.
She has experience supporting clients (including tamariki, rangatahi, and adults) with anxiety, depression, self-harm, grief, sexual trauma/trauma, addiction/substance abuse, neurodiversities, LGBTQIA+ concerns, and more, and will cater sessions to your needs. She has worked with clients from 8 months to 70 years old, with a focus on rangatahi and adults most recently.
Her practice is co-creative, stemming from an emphasis on person-centered frameworks, but also drawing on cognitive behavioural, psychoeducational, mindfulness/bodyfulness, and trauma-informed approaches and includes the use of a range of tools (including talking, movement, embodied awareness, art-making, and others), catered to the needs of individual clients.
