Maria Radoje
Music Therapy reimagined
I fell in love with the cello when I was 8 years old, and went on to study both cello and piano at Leeds College of Music, The Royal Academy of Music, and the National Centre of Orchestral Studies. As a freelance musician, I have worked with orchestras such as the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company and English National Opera North; played with various string quartets, such as Quatrocelli, and The Covent Garden String Quartet, and recorded with EMI, BBC TV, & Trimmer Music. I have also written and recorded my own music with texts by Hafiz and Rumi, giving performances with Spilling Oil and The Orion Ensemble.
I trained as a music therapist at the University of Surrey, Roehampton, and have more than 20 years’ experience in a wide variety of settings. My current roles include:
Running a private music therapy, GIM and supervision practice
Leading a team of music therapists at One Trust: https://onetrust.co.uk/
Working in CNWL's Older Adults Arts Psychotherapies Team
Module Lead for Music Therapy at the Academy of Contemporary Music: https://www.acm.ac.uk/
In 2018 I completed the progress route to an MA in Music Therapeutic Studies at the University of the West of England, and was in the first cohort of students to train in music therapy supervision in the UK. I also began my GIM training with Leslie Bunt as part of my MA studies. From my perspective GIM brings together many of my skills and life experiences, including my knowledge of the classical music repertoire, intererest in personal development, a love of depth psychology, training in Jungian clinical concepts, and experience and knowledge of music therapy.
I offer online sessions as well as face to face sessions in central London.
