About Nidambur

I am a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist and Registered Psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults and seniors with their emotional, physical, and psychological needs. I have worked with a wide range of populations including Autism Spectrum, Dementia, Parkinson’s, children with hearing and speech impairment, cerebral palsy, juvenile drug addiction, trauma, mental health challenges as well as life issues. I have worked in a variety of settings over the years including schools, juvenile centres, Adult Day Programs and private community organizations. I completed my Bachelor degree at Mount Carmel College and a Master of Science degree in Psychological Counselling in India. My passion and love for movement, dance and psychology pushed me to pursue another Masters in Expressive Arts Therapy: Dance/Movement Therapy with a Specialization in Mental Health Counselling from Lesley University, Massachusetts. My approach is non-judgmental, genuine and person-centered. I use the Gestalt Therapy – the ‘here’ and ‘now’ approach, focusing on the client’s expression of feelings through movement. I believe that body and mind are two important elements that work together. Along with working on the body, I focus on the mind too, using Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to help clients with self esteem, identity and anxiety challenges. I use a variety of interventions and skills within these frameworks to help clients work toward the goals that are meaningful to them. My skills of observation, intuition and creativity have enabled me to work in depth with clients over the years. As a dancer, a dance teacher and a therapist, I utilize my ability to delve into the intricacies of body and mind in order to be able to support my clients in improving emotional, physical and psychological well-being.
