Individual Sing 2 Health sessions with Ruth Routledge

Many of us feel terrified at the prospect of singing with other people. Or we may have been told that we cannot sing or to mime. This not only destroys our confidence in singing but can have a deeply personal and negative effect on us. Ruth offers individual sessions tailored to support the individual health and wellbeing aims of the client, creating a safe and supportive environment where every person and sound is welcome as well as adapting musical choices to the wishes and tastes of the client.

“Ruth is the most encouraging force of joy you could wish to meet”
— Natalie, private pupil

About me and my approach

My approach is person-centred, compassionate, non-judgemental and evidence-based, using techniques and practices that research shows are beneficial for mental and physical health issues. This is combined with over twenty years experience of working with adults, children and young people.

My practice encompasses vocal technique, relaxation, mindfulness, musicianship, improvisation and music therapy-techniques in a gentle, safe and supportive manner. I am a trauma-informed practitioner, mental health first aid trained with public liability insurance.

They take place in my comfortable, dedicated space in Nutbourne, Chichester.
