  • ✺

    Counselling sessions are centred around you and your needs, working at your pace. We work together to find the time when your rhythm was lost or became so blended with others, you lost your true self.

  • ✺

    Counselling sessions take many forms to encourage discussion: in private within the music studio, on the verandah surrounded by birds and nature, or you can walk and talk. There is also an opportunity to take some percussion with us and go sit on a rock, wherever you feel most comfortable.

  • ✺

    While traditional talk therapy is absolutely an option; you have the choice to relax into your session with a Djembe (African drum) or Hand Drum, Ocean Drum, Floor Tom, Tongue Drum, Tonal Bells, Hand Pan or just a warm beverage.

  • ✺

    The physical and mental benefits of drumming come from rhythmic healing. Drumming makes our bodies, brainwaves and energy channels (such as meridians or chakras) vibrate in response.  Together with my theoretical studies in Counselling, we are sure to find a healing vibe to help guide you on your journey to healing.

  • Please head to the main menu and click on the Contact button to send me your information, and I will call you to discuss your requirements, and suitable time to meet.

  • I can arrange to meet you at a local CRC centre; library or suitable private space, but I do not carry out home visits.

  • Music has been the ice breaker for many clients including those who prefer not to express through words initially. The drums are a great way to tell me what you are experiencing without speaking too much. This is very beneficial for people with extreme anxiety; Autism; Non-verbal clients; and using an instrument as a medium, can help with those initial nervous feelings when meeting for the first time. Music is also great for improving memory, focus, concentration, reducing stress, and having fun. Counselling does not have to be dull.
