Music for Emotional Wellbeing and creative flow
Music producer and psychotherapist specialising in emotion-focused soundscapes and therapeutic audio
Music has unique power to shift our emotional and mental states, supporting flow, healing, and creative expression. With degrees in both music production/songwriting and psychology/psychotherapy, plus over 24 years clinical experience as a therapist (BABCP/NCPS), I create audio that works with your emotions. From bilateral beats for therapy sessions to immersive soundscapes that support emotional processing, flow states, and creative journeys.
Whether you’re seeking audio to support your emotional journey, or you’re a wellness practitioner looking for therapeutic-grade music, my work combines clinical expertise with artistry.
Why Audio?
Why Audio for Wellbeing?
As a trauma therapist, I use bilateral sound to help clients process traumatic experiences and also engage with positive emotions.
My research during my music production masters included a scoping review of bilateral sound, exploring how specific audio techniques affect neural processing. I’ve also studied musical awe, sensory processing, and therapeutic listening techniques, and I have put together a program on using therapeutic sound with journaling.
Audio reaches beyond our thinking brain and can help us to shift our emotional state in ways that thinking cannot.
This is why I create audio experiences. Because transformation happens when we feel different in our body and nervous system, not just in our thoughts.
