Music Therapy
Every person is unique, and Stephen's sessions are person-centred based, tailored to his client's needs and interests, in an inclusive and supportive environment.
Musical instruments and sounds are used to help people to communicate in their own musical language whatever their ability, providing emotional, sensory and intellectually stimulating experiences. Therapeutic goals and objectives are developed and agreed upon between the music therapist and the client.
Sound Healing sessions
Stephen's work is focused on using Tibetan Singing bowls within a modern practical methodology, without specific spiritual or religious references, for meditation and other practices that deal with inner knowledge and growth. The sounds and vibrations of Tibetan Singing Bowls and Crystal Singing Bowls are used to move energetic blockages and to support mind-body-spirit well-being. The Singing Bowls are used for emotional healing also in combination with deep breathing, visualization, and mindfulness meditation.

Bernice G.
Stephen has been working with my mother for about a year and throughout that time I've consistently been impressed by his gentle and respectful approach, and also by the amazing diversity of sensory experiences he provides. My mother is 90 with vascular dementia and she looks forward to Stephen's weekly visits, and so do my Dad and me because of the pleasure she gets from the interaction. I highly recommend him.
