I am a NZ Registered Music Therapist with over 25 years experience, working with adults with learning (intellectual) and multiple disabilities. I currently work in community and school settings and also work with support workers and family members to develop music ideas they can use.I have been supervising music therapists and music therapy students for over 15 years. I use a psychotherapeutically informed relational model of supervision. I enjoy working with music therapists and students to support their work and development. I offer the use of music making within supervision as part of the process of reflection and deepening understanding.
