Guided Imagery and Music Groups
Be in a supportive community, receive counselling
Group Counselling offers a unique and powerful approach to healing and personal growth by providing individuals with a supportive community where they can share their experiences, gain insight, and receive feedback from others facing similar challenges.
Together we embark on a collective exploration of music and imagery to get to know our inner selves, exploring our strengths, resilience, spaces of safety, and deep relaxation, while delving into the vivid details of what they look and feel like.
Through guided relaxation, music, and drawing we nurture the ability to access this space in times of struggle, equipping each participant with invaluable tools for resilience and solace.
By fostering mutual support and encouragement, we create a nurturing environment where every member feels empowered to cultivate and preserve their inner sanctuary, fostering well-being and strength amidst life's challenges. Everything that is shared within the group is confidential.
Group Music and Imagery
Group Music and Imagery (MI) is an adaptation born from The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) which is a music-centred integrative form of psychotherapy. Music is used to facilitate a dynamic exploration of consciousness and inner experiences in support of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of well-being
In Group Music and Imagery (MI) sessions, I work with travellers' supportive resources rather than focusing on issues and problems. This is to build on our inner strengths and resilience. The supportive resource can be anything that enables the traveller to feel well, nourished, relaxed, soothed, or has other positive impacts.
Through Group Music and Imagery counselling, you can experience:
- Stress reduction and relaxation
- Increased self-awareness and insight
- Emotional healing and processing
- Enhanced creativity and problem-solving skills
- Improved mood and overall well-being
- Community and Connection
“During the session, I was at first a bit surprised, expecting from myself to see very precise images, like in a dream, before realising that it was a different kind of journey, and accepting whatever it was that was forming in my mind. And in the end, it was really like travelling in my mind and subconscious, with a lot of very precise scenes and impressions and strong emotions I hadn't expected.” Music and Imagery Participant.

“Aside from being healing, the session with Sadie is also very relaxing and left me feeling tranquil and optimistic with a bigger belief in myself.”
"Guided Music and Imagery with Sadie helped me organize my messy thoughts, and discover parts of my subconscious that helped me both with decision making and with managing my anxiety. The GMI experience is transformative and healing on a deep level. It supported me to come to peace with difficult situations by gaining enhanced insight to my mind’s core.”
