About the Therapist

Hello everyone, I am Siska Redman,  international Music Therapist and Neurologic Music Therapist living in North Somerset UK. I am lucky to share expertise in clinical work, including stroke rehabilitation, helping individuals after accidents with neuro rehabilitation and those people who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. 


I am a native German who studied Music Therapy for four years at the prestigious College in Heidelberg. This training was focused on hospital work collaborating with Heidelberg Medical School. I was very fortunate to be working alongside other teams in Neurology (Duesseldorf and Wiesloch and Soltau).

  I held a private practise in Fredericton/ Canada, spend many years supporting children in special education and was employed for Barchester Healthcare for 15 years. There I learnt how team approach is vital when serving clients and how to give exceptional service.


 Since February 2024 I run a small private practice on the Somerset / Dorset border near Sherborne UK, support clients in their homes and online. 


Neuro rehabilitation is my passion and so is working in a capable team with the elderly population in a small selection of high quality care homes.


 I am passionate about innovative ways in Music Therapy to make a real difference in people’s lives. The wealth of effective techniques in Neurologic Music Therapy is bringing about great results for clients and is underpinned by research. Please ask for specific research papers and I will gladly provide you with the correct information.

Neurologic Music Therapy® (NMT™) for Acquired Brain Injury

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)

ABI is brain damage caused by events after birth, rather than as part of a genetic or congenital disorder. ABI can result in cognitive, physical, emotional, or behavioral impairments that lead to permanent or temporary changes in functioning.

Types of ABI

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)

  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
  • Stroke/Aneurysm 
  • Brain Tumor
  •  Brain Infections (i.e., meningitis)
  • Hypoxic / Anoxic Brain Injury 
  • Concussion

NMT™ Professionals, in collaboration with care teams, utilize standardized assessments and identify relevant treatment areas to optimally support individuals living with ABI. Music has a direct impact on the brain and functional behaviors like movement, communication, cognition, and mental health.

Music Therapy for Stroke Rehabilitation and Wellness Center

Sensorimotor Techniques within the NMT™ System use rhythm, melody, and harmony to cue and support movements to improve walking and mobility.

Speech and Language Techniques within the NMT™ System use singing, playing of wind instruments, and rhythmic cues to support the rehabilitation of speech.

Cognitive Techniques within the NMT™ System use structured active and receptive musical exercises, discrimination of components of sound, and improvisation and composition exercises to address a variety of cognitive functions.
