ABOUT ME
BEHIYE SUREN-BURNS (RMT)
As a Registered Music Therapist with the Australian Music Therapy Association, I have worked with clients from varied backgrounds such as mums/bubs in early childhood programs, school aged children in clinical settings, First Nations adolescents in rural NSW, adults in a mental health ward and elderly clients in residential care. My deepest calling and vision is to help enrich the life quality and well-being of the people I serve. I possess an empathetic and dedicated nature, which has enabled me to build trusting relationships with my clients and their families. For this, I am deeply grateful, as this is the key ingredient that has lead to successful therapeutic outcomes for my clients.
​
Prior to completing a Masters in Creative Music Therapy, I had worked as a singer/songwriter, a tertiary educator and a life coach. I had recorded two albums of original music, supported by the Australian Arts Council. My debut EP ‘Season of Plums’ was featured on SBS/FBI radio shows and in Time Out Magazine. As a culturally diverse voice in Australian music, I was a delegate at the 2019 Australian Women in Music Awards and performed at local/ international venues and cultural events such as Anzac Centenary at Gallipoli Cove, Turkey (in the presence of King Charles and Prince Harry). As an educator and personal coach, I had mentored hundreds of people to succeed in achieving academic, professional and relationship goals.
