Specialities and areas of interest:
I am a qualified Music Therapist with a Master’s degree in Music Therapy and a registered member of BAMT (British Association for Music Therapy). With over 20 years of experience as a SEND teacher, I have worked with children of all ages, including ASD, ADHD, SEMH needs as well as children with complex medical needs and profound disabilities. I am highly skilled in Makaton Sign Language and am confident to use this to support communication in all settings. I am dedicated to ensuring that every child is truly listened to and heard—whether through verbal or non-verbal communication. In this role, I have witnessed firsthand the power of music to build and strengthen relationships, nurture confidence, and support emotional growth. I am highly skilled at I am deeply passionate about my work and value giving children and their parents and/or carers the space and opportunity to engage, connect, and express themselves through shared musical experiences. Drawing on trauma-informed and psychodynamic approaches, I use music as a powerful tool to transform lives, foster connection, and create meaningful, child-led experiences.
What do you enjoyed outside of work?
Along with my passion for music (piano and singing), I love going to the theatre and attending live music events. I am a keen swimmer and runner and do these regularly as part of my self-care. Spending time with my family is a priority, whether we're out for a fresh walk or venturing into central London.
