Bonnie Meekums, PhD

Experience

As a retired counsellor/psychotherapist and Dance Movement Psychotherapist with an interest in words, I have many years’ experience of facilitating creative and therapeutic groups. My own words have been published widely. This has included several poems, short fictions, and I currently have a two-novel book deal with an American publisher.

Qualifications

My Doctorate used arts-based and more traditional qualitative research methods to investigate the recovery process from child sexual abuse trauma within arts therapies groups. I was, until recently when I retired from individual therapeutic practice, both BACP and UKCP registered. I remain a lifelong Fellow of the Association for Dance Movement Therapy UK.
