About Me

My journey with music therapy

My journey with music began in my teenage years, when writing songs became a safe way to process my emotions. Performing in pubs and bars around London from the age of sixteen helped me discover music’s ability to heal and connect. That discovery has stayed with me ever since.

After training and working as a primary school teacher, I retrained and completed my MA in Music Therapy with distinction at UWE Bristol. Since then, I have been privileged to work with many clients from children to adults in both London and Bristol. I have witnessed how music can become an empowering language, enabling clients to express their inner world, to feel seen, and to connect with others in new ways. Working alongside parents has also been a powerful part of this journey, offering families creative ways to communicate and understand one another more deeply.

I have experience supporting clients with:

    •    Autism

    •    Profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD)

    •    Trauma and attachment difficulties

    •    Anxiety and depression

    •    ADHD

    •    Psychosis

While diagnoses can inform the work, what matters most to me is relationship. Every client brings their own unique personality, and I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change.

​

​In many of my sessions, the process naturally evolves into songwriting. Once the trust is built, creating a song together becomes a powerful and rewarding way for clients to shape and share their story.

Beyond individual therapy, I have also:

    •    Offered trauma training to schools

    •    Facilitated a peer supervision group for teachers processing grief after losing a student

    •    Held workshops on play, creativity, and self-care

​

Alongside music therapy, I have expanded my training in sound therapy, which I now offer to adults and to clients with PMLD. Unlike the interactive, improvisational nature of music therapy, sound therapy is receptive: it provides an accessible way to experience deep rest, simply by lying back and receiving therapeutic sound.

​

Most recently, I have begun a new chapter as a Music Psychotherapist in Malta. I continue to offer online music therapy sessions for clients in the UK and I am now also offering in-person sound therapy sessions workshops and retreats in Malta. 

Music has always been my way of making sense of the world, and I feel honoured to walk alongside others as they discover how it can help them do the same.
