About Me
Emma is based in the south of Wiltshire, offering sessions across Salisbury and the surrounding areas. She brings a warm, creative and professional approach to her private practice, drawing on extensive experience as a bass guitarist and backing vocalist who has toured internationally with established artists. While bass guitar is her primary instrument, Emma also uses guitar, musical improvisation, songwriting, creative arts and reflective conversation within sessions to support therapeutic goals. Her work is rooted in a holistic, person‑centred approach, with sessions thoughtfully tailored to each individual.
Emma is deeply committed to inclusion and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), and strives to create therapeutic spaces where all individuals feel valued, respected, and safe to express themselves. She has a strong background in supporting people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) and complex needs, using sound, music and sensory elements to foster engagement, enjoyment and meaningful self‑expression within a supportive and inclusive environment.
