Music Therapy

I am a HCPC-registered music therapist based in Salisbury, working with children, young people, adults, and older adults across SEN/D, dementia, psychiatric, community, and private practice settings.

I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, low mood, behavioural issues, relationship challenges, fertility issues, identity concerns, and feelings of being stuck.

I have a particular interest in fertility journeys, creative professionals, and those working in the music industry. As an international touring session musician, I understand the demands of creative careers and use therapeutic dialogue, creative approaches, and music-based methods.

I provide person-centred music therapy, combining therapeutic conversation with music and sound to support emotional wellbeing and personal growth. No musical experience is needed. Sessions are tailored to you and may include music listening, songwriting, lyric analysis, relaxation, improvisation, and creative exploration in a safe, inclusive space.

I offer 50 minute online sessions or in-person sessions from my studio in Wiltshire. I am available weekdays and also offer evening slots.

Children and Young People with SEND/ SEMH

Alongside my adult clinical work, I support children and young people with complex needs, including those with profound and multiple learning disabilities in both school and community settings. I use multi-sensory, person-centred approaches to support communication, self-expression, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.

I am committed to creating inclusive spaces that reduce isolation, foster connection, and empower individuals to develop a greater sense of agency, choice, and confidence. Through music and creative exploration, I support clients to discover and develop their own creativity and musical identity while enhancing wellbeing.

Client Reviews

When I come to music therapy it makes me in a better place. I’m happy and chilled for the rest of the day. My cousin has noticed improvements in my mood after sessions on a Tuesday. I’d recommend this to anyone with mental health issues.

Emma at The Rhythm Practice worked with our daughter for 18months, from the age of 5½ to 7yo.  Emma was very patient, caring, warm and understanding towards our little girl. She was very accommodating of our daughter's needs as they sometimes changed from one session to the next. All this meant our daughter really grew in her ability to interact, play and express herself with people around her. Our daughter has suffered trauma and neglect in her early life which has had, and will continue to have, a profound and lasting effect on her. In therapy she needed an adult to be child-led but structured, allowing her to come to trust and open up to the therapist. Emma did an amazing job of gaining this trust by allowing our daughter to regress at times, be a bit silly, bring dolls and teddies to sessions; allowing our daughter to be herself and feel that it was a safe and accepting place to be. Although this therapy has now come to an end, our daughter continues to look back at her time with Emma with such fond memories and reaps the benefits of all the work they did together. Thank you Emma for all your help and support.

We have been so fortunate to have Emma from The Rhythm Practice visit my daughter several times now. To see someone go so far beyond doing a job or meeting a need and actually really care is so much more than I expected out of these sessions. 

The way Emma sees, feels and takes my daughter’s emotions and feeds them into a session is astonishing. My daughter can go from chilling in a corner, no motivation at all to jumping around and vocalising,  really choosing and feeling part of a session it is a beautiful thing to see.
