About me
I'm an HCPC-registered Music Therapist with extensive clinical experience across a wide range of settings. I've worked with children, adolescents and adults presenting with a broad spectrum of needs and levels of severity, bringing both clinical depth and a compassionate understanding of the many ways people can struggle.
That breadth of experience is what I bring into my online practice, which is dedicated to adults aged 18+. Many people I work with are dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, stress or burnout, or a life transition that's left them feeling stuck.
My approach is warm, collaborative and non-judgemental. I work creatively and flexibly, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to what you need.
And no, you don't need to be "musical." Sessions are flexible in how they unfold- some are entirely talking and listening, with no requirement to engage with music. At other times we might explore listening to music together, songwriting, recording using music software, using music meditatively, or working with other creative materials.
What is music therapy?
Music therapy is an established clinical intervention and a form of arts psychotherapy, using music to support emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. It offers a powerful outlet for expression, reaching feelings that words alone sometimes can't. Sessions might involve talking, listening, or engaging with music in ways that feel right for you.
The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the process, creating a space where you can connect with yourself and others safely, and without judgement.
Music therapists are registered Allied Health Professionals, regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my MA in Music Therapy at the university of Roehampton. My experience includes working for the NHS in an acute psychiatric ward, where I facilitated group music therapy sessions and 1-1 sessions, working in a preschool with 3-5 year olds with a variety of needs, and working in a Social Emotional Mental Health secondary school, where I continue to offer my services on a weekly basis.
