I enjoy using both my life and therapeutic skills to assist individuals to become more fully themselves. I am drawn to those who are open to new possibilities. I feel passionate about the healing power of the great music of the western classical canon and its capacity to lead towards personal transformation.

GIM presentations/workshops at cancer care and relationships centres		 I am a practitioner of a music-centred psychotherapy, Guided Imagery and Music (GIM). Using this method I assist individuals to emotionally deepen and explore their inner landscape. GIM involves listening to pre-recorded music in a relaxed state and allowing the imagination to come to conscious awareness. The selected pieces act as a psychological container in which an unfolding can occur. During the process a person is supported to access their inner strengths and vitality.
