'We were unfamiliar with music therapy when we first began working with Vicky, but the impact on our autistic son has been undeniable.  In just under a year of working with Vicky, both his use and understanding of language have improved significantly, and he has developed a distinct interest in musical instruments at home.

​

Vicky has an incredible gift for reaching special needs kids like my son, as he came home after virtually every session in a brilliant mood, and her passion for the work is evident.  I’m thrilled that my son had the opportunity to work with her'

'Victoria taught me at the University of Roehampton.  I loved her lectures and when I needed a supervisor a couple of years ago she was the first person I thought of. It’s not an exaggeration to say that her work with me has been life changing.  She has helped me to find my confidence, break away from limiting situations and start my own business.  She has offered me some excellent opportunities and is always a great support.  I enjoy seeing her and look forward to our conversations every time.  I have been able to turn to her at any time I’ve not been sure about career things, but has has also been such a therapeutic guide on a personal level.  Thank you Vicky!'

'As a parent I can say how much of a therapy singing together really was. It brought me so much pleasure and inspiration, and it was a great way to meet other parents and find support in that. It became the highlight of my month'

'Vicky Kammin’s expertise as a music therapy supervisor has been transformative for our team. Since we are based in Malta, we periodically meet online. Notwithstanding this, Vicky she has an exceptional ability to ‘hold’ the group, creating a space where each of the ten members feels genuinely heard, understood, and appreciated. Her presence is both grounding and inspiring, fostering an environment of trust and collaboration.

​

What sets Vicky apart is her remarkable intuition and broad knowledge. She listens deeply and reflects in the moment, offering insights that are not only stimulating but also deeply relevant to our practice. Her ability to respond spontaneously, while also providing robust theoretical input, enriches our discussions and elevates the work.

​​

Under Vicky’s guidance, our team has grown both professionally and personally. She has a unique gift for balancing support with challenge, ensuring that each session leaves us feeling empowered and motivated. Her dedication to the field of music therapy and her commitment to our growth as practitioners is evident in every interaction.

We are truly grateful for Vicky’s leadership and the profound impact she has had on our team and the clients we serve'

'My son was able to be part of a group of young people with varying levels of disability and communication and be a full member of that group.  His contribution, musically and creatively, was unique but a really crucial part of the whole performance and therefore highly valued.​ He clearly had a lot of fun. The evident relationship between the young people, the professional musicians, helpers, and music therapist came across so positively in the telling of the performance story - it appeared that everyone was gaining something from the experience as well as enjoying it immensely.  For children and young people who are profoundly disabled or who have life-limiting conditions, opportunities for doing these sort of creative performances are limited and hence very precious for them and for their families'

'Vicky is a pioneering figure in the field of music therapy in children’s palliative care. Widely recognised and deeply respected by practitioners in the area, she is the author of a leading textbook on the subject. Her extensive experience and unmatched expertise, combined with a compassionate and practical approach, have made her a highly sought-after and valued supervisor. I have personally benefited from Vicky’s exceptional guidance as both a tutor and supervisor, and have gained a great deal from her insightful, reflective, and stimulating presentations at national and international conferences and at BAMT network meetings. Her dedication to her work and genuine care for those she supports are evident in everything she does'

'Vicky has supported our daughter in therapy sessions across various settings for over seven years. Her calm, relaxed yet joyful approach immediately put Isla at ease. She carefully tailors each session, using a range of musical instruments and creative resources to encourage self-expression. Vicky has a beautiful way of truly listening, gently prompting when needed and creating a space where Isla feels safe and understood. We are incredibly grateful to have found her. Isla always looks forward to her sessions, and I can clearly see the positive difference she has made to her coping strategies, emotional wellbeing and confidence in facing challenges'
