I am Alphonso Archer, a professional HCPC registered music therapist in Calne, UK.
With a master's degree in music therapy from the University of the West of England (UWE), I
bring a
wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. As a dedicated member of the British Association
for Music Therapy (BAMT) and The Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN), I stay at the
forefront of developments in the field.
My journey into music therapy was inspired by a personal experience that ignited my passion for helping others. Following my diagnosis of prostate cancer in 2016 and an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) on the brain, both detected early and successfully treated, I embarked on a path to follow my dreams. These challenges underscored the importance of healing and motivated me to retrain as a music therapist. I have also taught piano, guitar and drums for over twenty years in private settings and as a creative music lead in mainstream and specialist schools.
I have worked extensively with diverse clients, including children with autism, adults with mental health issues, and older adults with dementia. My experience spans a wide range of settings, enabling me to adapt my therapeutic approach to suit the unique needs of each individual I work with. Beyond my role as a music therapist, I actively engage in fundraising and awareness-raising activities for Prostate Cancer and Autism research. I have organised and participated in numerous music events to generate funds for this vital cause. This personal connection fuels my dedication to making a difference in the lives of my clients and the broader community.
