About me
I worked in the NHS for Oxleas Music Therapy Service with children and young people for 12 years. I have published a number of theoretical and research papers arising from my clinical practice. I am currently working on the topic of 'The therapeutic stance in music therapy'.
I have a career as an improvising musician which informs both my therapeutic practice and academic interests. I have produced and presented the podcast 'Music therapy Conversations' for The British Association for Music therapy since 2017 (monthly).
While working for the NHS I was admitted onto the NIHR Integrated Clinical Academic Programme for clinician researchers, and was funded to complete an MRes (with distinction) in clinical research at City, University of London, in 2017-18. I also have an MPhil in ethnomusicology from Cambridge University, which involved ethnographic research into Gnawa music in Marrakesh, Morocco.
Area of expertise
My experience as a practising music therapist has been primarily with children and young people. I identify myself as a psychodynamically informed, improvisational music therapist.
My published research has a strong leaning towards qualitative methods, including interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), thematic analysis, and thematic synthesis (Annesley, McKeown, and Curtis-Tyler 2020b). One study (Annesley and O'Neill 2021) incorporates tabular microanalysis and video-elicited interview, while another uses arts-based methods of data collection combined with auto-ethnography (Annesley and Haire 2021).
