About Me

Jacob Wiles, MA
Music Psychologist

Hey there. I’m The Music Psychotherapist – a researcher, musician, and trainee psychotherapist. I’ve spent a lifetime using music to navigate emotion and half a decade researching how music can understand and connect us.

About me

Music is a mirror, connecting us to ourselves and others. It can hold us in a relational orbit within a shared listening experience.

Notes on my latest research based on DeNora’s (2000) conceptualisation of music as a mirror.
