About Me

For the past six years, I have combined my role as a secondary SEN tutor with that of a music specialist, planning and delivering a music curriculum with a strong focus on therapeutic goals. I deeply value the transformative power of music—its ability to connect, challenge, inspire, and heal. In my work, I have supported pupils in accessing, creating, and appreciating music while fostering their confidence, self-expression, and overall wellbeing. I strongly believe in the profound potential of working toward non-musical goals through musical means, particularly in supporting children and young adults with SEND. Music provides a unique and powerful medium for communication, emotional resilience, and personal development—often unlocking pathways that traditional methods cannot reach.

I have recently completed my Master’s in Music Therapy at Roehampton University, a three-year journey that has further enriched my understanding of therapeutic practice and deepened my appreciation for the emotional impact of music. My approach to music therapy is grounded in psychoanalytic theory and centres on creating a safe, contained space for individuals to explore their emotions and inner world through musical improvisation, songwriting, and active listening. As part of my studies, I have conducted in-depth research on how music therapists integrate therapeutic work to enhance student outcomes within primary SEND settings. I am experienced in the sustained emotional and mental focus required to deliver impactful one-to-one and group interventions and am committed to using music as a powerful tool for growth, connection, and healing.
