Why The Musician Clinician?

A consistent journey from dyslexia assessment to intervention

  • A one-stop shop of services with continuity for each individual, supporting their routine and confidence.

  • Supporting individuals from diagnosis to tuition for greater consistency.

 

Interactive and fun sessions

  • Sessions are engaging and incorporate an individual’s hobbies and interests to foster a love of learning.

  • Interactive tools and strategies boost their independence and self-esteem.

 

Musical and creative sessions

  • I am passionate about pupils learning through creative approaches which can work better for individuals who respond well to creative subjects. 

  • I can use music in my sessions to support repetition and overlearning, which aids memory. It’s also fun and helps individuals with their focus. 

  • Music stimulates the brain comprehensively and engages multiple neural pathways involved in auditory processing, memory, and emotional regulation facilitating cognitive and emotional development.

Building a relationship and trust

  • I endeavour to build a trusting and positive relationship with all individuals to understand how I can support them and help them feel safe and engaged.

  • Every individual will be made to feel supported and confident whilst progressing towards fulfilling their potential. 

​

Empowerment, resilience and self-esteem
I provide sessions that are planned, prepared and delivered following each individual’s needs, hobbies and interests. The aim is for each individual to feel empowered and enjoy each session, developing a ‘can do’ attitude.

​

Helping at Home and School

  • We can arrange regular chats to support your understanding of your child’s individual needs and provide advice for activities to do at home.

  • Homework can be provided if requested, which is marked with the individual.

  • I can also communicate with teachers, other therapists, family members and schools to work together to support each individual.
