As well as my background in teaching, I have studied how people work and how to work with them to help them achieve their goals in music. I have a BSc hons Applied Psychology, PGCert Psych, PG Dip in Integrative Counselling and am currently completing an Masters Integrative Counselling. I am a trained practitioner and registered member of the Song Therapy Network. I have worked in clinical settings, (for example in Brain Injury Rehabilitation) and non-clinical leisure time settings (for example providing interactive music activities to people with dementia in residential homes). I am comfortable working with and teaching ukulele and singing to people with disabilities and those who have additional needs. I run a slower paced ukulele group where people can use adapted ukuleles to play at the push of a button (see the Ukulele Shape Shifters on the Groups page for more information). I also work in private practice as a psychotherapist and counsellor – you can find my therapy website here: www.jessicabowie.com.
