Suphena Reynolds
As a newly qualified music therapist, Suphena specialises in, but is not limited to, working with refugees and migrants. Suphena understands the need to adapt to different cultures and is sensitive to what this means about the music made in sessions. Having worked with an array of patients, Suphena can help with bereavement, grief, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Acquired Bain Injury (ABI), Dementia, Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC), Family Therapy, Couples Therapy, ADHD, People with Adverse Childhood Experience’s, young carers, and Suicide prevention.
Her most recent work saw her delivering one-to-one music therapy to individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, working with clients facing trauma, eating disorders, altternative learning styles, identity-related challenges, ADHD and autism.
She has led therapeutic workshops focused on self-awareness through music, employing cross-modal techniques to integrate music with visual arts and movement.
Suphena’s speciality lies in working with clients using culturally sensitive approaches, tailoring therapeutic interventions to reflect each individual’s cultural identity and personal relationship with music.
She has recently developed an interest in both Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) and Nvivo and plans to incorporate these into future therapeutic work both practically and theoretically.
Suphena is currently in the process of beginning her latest research project titled: Transitioning into Parenthood: Cross-Modal Creative Therapy Project for Families
She also tailors her work to fit the needs of groups seeking a dynamic and fun workshop, which has been proven to offer fun, play and a welcoming feel to individuals who attend. She runs these workshops for both adults and children. Suphena focuses these workshops on vocal technique, and always has a theme which guides the flow of the workshop and allows for a cohesive group. Suphena also brings in other musical elements such as rhythmic exercises to enhance the group experience.
