Ric works as a movement psychotherapist. Movement psychotherapy is a relational process in which a client and therapist engage in an empathetic creative process using the body to assist the integration of emotional, cognitive, physical, social and spiritual aspects of self. He believes that focusing on the creative potential of individuals in a relationship creates a sound ethical basis for psychotherapeutic work.

Movement Psychotherapy integrates theoretical, experiential and clinical learning, preparing clients to practise as movement psychotherapists. Practice-based research cascades into teaching emphasising the social, biological and psychological construction of the moving body and meaning-making. Ric offers opportunities for you to explore and expand movement preferences, ways of interacting with others, belief systems, prejudices and values. Emphasis is placed on development of your own style as a movement psychotherapist. 

The ethos emphasises a critical consideration of different descriptions and explanations of bodies, human systems and therapeutic practices in different places and times. In the context of an individual client’s experiences, beliefs, values and different 'cultures', our teaching actively promotes a participatory ethic, self-reflexive practices and the ability for critical reflection on: creative processes, intersubjectivity and the construction of social and power differentials, in learning and in psychotherapy.
