My Story
After studying music at university I have spent ten years building my teaching and education practice in schools and privately. I have always enjoyed the relationships with people that teaching provides, so I wanted to deepen this element of the work - music therapy allows me to use my creativity, ability to attune to others and attentiveness in a completely unique way.
I completed my MSc in Music Therapy at Queen Margaret University and since qualifying have worked extensively across a range of schools, supporting children and young people with social and emotional needs, as well as those with additional support requirements and complex needs.
I really enjoy using my own creativity and the improvisational nature of music therapy, and how every session can be different. I use a range of instruments and musical techniques in my sessions, including but not limited to, voice, cello, piano, ukulele, guitar or steel tongue drum.
What is Music Therapy?
Music therapy is a recognised clinical practice that uses music and the therapeutic relationship to support people whose lives are affected by illness, disability, or injury. Through music-making, people can explore feelings, build connections, and express themselves in ways that words sometimes can’t.
Music therapists are HCPC-registered professionals who work with people of all ages, backgrounds and needs. Sessions often involve live, improvised music using a range of instruments and the voice, allowing each person to create their own unique way of communicating and connecting through sound.
