Press Play Music Therapy
My intention is to provide a space for people to feel supported within their struggles and successes. Through collaborative relationships, I believe we can explore strengths, resources and possibilities through play, music and creativity. With the name Press Play Music Therapy, I hope to empower people to 'press play' in their own way - whether that means taking charge of the remote control within their life, playing or listening to music, or supporting people to live their 'truth.'
Individual therapy for people of all ages.
Group therapy for young people, families and adults.
Workshops, seminars and webinars to assist exploration of music and creativity to deepen our understanding, awareness and knowledge of our ways of thinking, doing and being.
CBT, Creative Arts Therapy, DBT, Existential, Interpersonal, Music Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Solution Oriented
Depending on the individual or collective, I will tailor the therapeutic approach according to the need. I have experience working with solution-focused therapy, strengths and values based frameworks, CBT, Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness. Within music therapy, you may experience talking/counselling, listening to music, songwriting, creating music, other creative media and guided relaxation. I will support you towards music engagement at your own pace.
I am committed to offering music therapy mental health services to varying levels of accessibility regardless of gender expression, location, sexuality, ethnicity, class or culture. I regularly attend and engage in professional development within music therapy, creative therapies, psychology and mental health counselling.
My priority is to meet people in their world, their immediate needs and to work collaboratively towards their ideal place. Music skills are not required.
I have experience in individual, group and family interventions in disadvantaged communities, psychiatric inpatient and outpatient units. I have worked across the age range including infants, children, young people, adults and older adults. While I can work with specific mental health diagnoses within the medical model, I'm interested in working with people at their level and with their personal needs, values and resources.
