jenny drew therapy

I’m a body psychology practitioner and illustrator, using Bodynamic-informed approaches to figure out how our patterns show up in our bodies.

I’m in training for somatic psychotherapy and working under supervision. I focus on body awareness, regulation, and understanding developmentally.

I’ve got a background in personal training and Alternative education, which really influences how I see strength, support, and being physically present in our day-to-day lives.

Bodynamic theory is a body-oriented model that identifies specific muscles holding psychological roles developed in early life. This gives me a practical and specific way to work with the body, all while staying within my training limits and supervision guidelines.

As for my illustrations and writing, I create visuals that break down body psychology and therapy theory in a way that’s easy to grasp. I wrote Cartooning Teen Stories, which is all about using drawing and storytelling with young people, and I also illustrated Self Care for the Caregiver by Hadi Bahlawan Marcher and Kristina V Marcher. My ongoing illustration work, jennydrewsomething, is a space where I explore visual thinking and reflection. It’s used by individuals, practitioners, and educators and helps in learning and supervision settings. Regarding my background, I come from a mix of body-based psychology, personal training, creative work, and alternative education, especially with neurodivergent young people and adults.
