Neurologic Music Therapy for patients with neuro-disabilities, Community Music Therapy for supported living services, Music Therapy for Children and Young Adults with Special Educational Needs
My personal touch in music therapy derived from my passion for jazz music and I use improvisation in my practice as a therapist. This allows my clients to explore and initiate activities, to empower them and help them with their self esteem, so to progress towards a more resilient mindset.
I'm a people person, I'm caring and sensitive: I use humour as a tool on my sessions (in an appropriate manner); I encourage clients led activities because I want to build trust and I want the clients to feel comfortable around my person.
