Welcome
Welcome — I’m Helen, a Music Therapist based in Hampshire, UK, offering a calm and compassionate space to explore what’s happening in your life through music, imagery, and reflection. Whether you’re an adult seeking support, a young person navigating change, or an organisation looking to bring therapeutic work into your setting, I offer creative therapy approaches to help foster wellbeing, connection, and growth.
How I Work
Creative Arts Therapies offer a unique way to connect with your inner world. Sometimes, words alone don’t capture what we’re feeling — music can help us express and understand those emotions in a deeper, more intuitive way. In sessions, I may use live or recorded music, guided imagery, and/or music-listening combined with gentle reflection and breathwork. Each session is tailored to your needs, at your own pace.
My approach is grounded in respect, curiosity, and collaboration. Whether you’re working through stress, trauma, loss, or simply wish to reconnect with yourself, therapy can offer a safe space to explore, heal, and grow. I also work with organisations to bring Music & Imagery approaches into schools, healthcare settings, and community projects.
Getting Started
Therapy begins with a conversation. You don’t need any musical background to benefit from Creative Arts Therapies — just an openness to explore and a willingness to listen inwardly. If you’d like to find out more or discuss how therapy could support you or your organisation, I’d be happy to arrange an initial conversation.
