Completed the MA Music Therapy course at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, having worked in special schools with children who have PMLD, learning difficulties, speech and communication difficulties and autism. Further experience includes working with older adults with mental health difficulties and dementia in NHS wards. More recently, I also have worked in mainstream schools and social care delivering music therapy for young people with mental health needs. My other musical interests expand beyond therapy work - I enjoy teaching piano, music theory and provide accompaniment services, to other instrumentalists and choirs. I also love performing and have experience in classical, pop, jazz, and enjoy arranging/composing music. In my free time, I am passionate about fitness and health.
