Helen earned her MA in Music Therapy from Roehampton
University and has been practising since 2007. Her journey began with a
Berkshire-based charity, where she worked as part of a Music Therapy team
supporting people through music and creative connection.
In her practice, Helen offers a calm and supportive space
where you can explore your experiences through music, imagery, and gentle
reflection. She believes that music can help us connect more deeply with our
emotions, make sense of difficult experiences, and rediscover a sense of
balance and wholeness.
Helen completed her Guided Imagery and Music (GIM)
training with the Integrative Guided Imagery and Music Training Programme in
London, where she also gained a Diploma in Music & Imagery Therapy.
She now enjoys being part of the teaching team as Assistant Course Director
and Supervisor, supporting others as they train to become therapists,
alongside running her own private practice.
She has also trained with Dr Dag Körlin, creator of
the Music Breathing Method, and is a qualified Independent Music
Breathing Practitioner. This approach combines breathwork and music-listening to help calm the body and support healing, and can be particularly
effective for those recovering from trauma or coping with stress and anxiety.
Helen has many years’ experience working with adults and
young people with learning and physical disabilities, Autistic Spectrum
Condition, sensory processing challenges, terminal illness, dementia, and the link between emotional and physical pain. Her approach is
gentle, compassionate, and always centred around your individual needs and
pace.
Between 2009 and 2019, Helen also co-facilitated the Music
as Communication Project in Minsk, Belarus, as part of a fellow Music
Therapist’s PhD research. This meaningful work involved training staff to use
music as a way of building emotional connection with the children in their
care—an experience that continues to shape Helen’s work and philosophy today.
