Feedback From Trainees
‘For me, the combination of the experiential weeks and the online seminars is very helpful; it allows time to digest the information, to think and rethink, to try things out. Because we can meet online every month, we don’t lose the connection with the group members and can build on the strong connections which developed in the first experiential week…and we can learn from our own group processes which after all offer loads of live material to work with and to process.’
‘I appreciated the way the trainer balances insightful feedback with thought-provoking questions, and how she paces these to allow space for reflection and integration. In my first experience of vocal holding with her, I felt truly supported to explore. My body felt safe enough to release some heavy emotions, and I encountered a level of vocal power I had never accessed before. That could have felt overwhelming, but the trainer grounded the experience with such care and attunement. It was exactly what I needed at that time in my life, and I genuinely credit that session with sparking meaningful change that has continued to unfold ever since.’
‘Vocal psychotherapy in UK was a great experience for me. Our group consisted of music therapists from all over the world, which is amazing! I feel much more confident using my voice as a music therapist and I have plenty of new tools which will help me work more deeply with my clients. This course is not just helping me as a therapist but on a more personal level as well; using my voice at this level is enabling me to understand more about myself, my past, my fears and where I am right now. I highly recommend this course to any music therapist who wants to use the voice to work at a deeper psychoanalytical level with their clients.’
‘It’s been a wonderful experience so far. The trainer is a gentle, patient, and calm teacher, qualities much needed when learning to work with complex body/mind/emotional issues. Her experience as a therapist shows in this way as well as in her very useful insights throughout the training. Watching her facilitate vocal holdings has been immensely helpful for understanding the technique, and participating in the role of the client was a very interesting and healing experience. She radiates safety and receptiveness, both as a trainer and as a therapist’
