music therapy , supervising clinical practice and second year masters research

She is an experienced clinician, teacher and researcher in music therapy and

and Drama, London (1991-2005) and Research Fellow in Music Therapy at City University,
London (1985-88). As a clinician, Sarah has worked with adults in the probation

in neurodisability and with young children with wide ranging special needs (including

Doctoral research, begun in Britain and to be completed in New Zealand, has

music therapy research methodology as appropriate to the developing profession
in New Zealand will form part of this project. Other research experience includes
projects in neurodisability (short term group music therapy with patients with
Huntington’s Disease) and on co-mentoring in music therapy teaching.
Sarah has had close links with the music therapy professional bodies in the
UK: she is a former editor of the British Journal of Music Therapy, a Registered
Clinical Supervisor and an Advisory Council member of the Association of Professional
Music Therapists (UK).
