From Supervisors
It was a pleasure to work with Ayumi through the two years of her MA Music Therapy at Anglia Ruskin University. Ayumi is a skilled and sensitive musician who applies these attributes effectively in her clinical work as a music therapist. Passionate about the use of music therapy to support people to achieve their full potential, Ayumi is committed to inclusive practice and has experience working with people across the lifespan.
