I have worked as a therapist for over 20 years. My relationship with music started in my early childhood, when I studied piano, choir and music theory at Badajoz Conservatory in Spain. I later graduated as Occupational therapist (UEx, 2003) and Music Therapist (ISEP, 2009). I also have completed training in Psychodynamic Music Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Creative Ability model and other therapeutic approaches.

​

I am a vocational and enthusiastic professional experienced in working with individuals, groups and the community within public (NHS), private and third sector organisations. I have facilitated classes, workshops and therapeutic interventions for the last 20 years around the UK, Spain, France and South America.

​

I have a vaste experience working with adults with a range of needs. I work with people regardless of having a diagnosis or not. The clients I work with have often experienced trauma (PTSD and complex PTSD), depression, anxiety, dementia, autistic spectrum conditions, psychosis and other non-pathology specific areas.

 

As a composer and multi-instrumentalist, I have written and produced original music and arrangements for most of my life.

 

I am aware of structural and societal inequalities and strive to be inclusive and to expand this awareness with the clients I have the chance to work with.

 

From the start, I prioritize transparency and open communication, working with you to establish shared goals that evolve throughout our sessions. This clarity helps us create a therapeutic relationship built on trust, where your progress remains our primary focus.

 

Other qualifications and therapeutic models that inform my practice are:

• Psychodynamic music therapy

• Therapeutic songwriting

• Music and imagery

• Dialectical behavioral therapy

• Model of creative ability
