One-to-One Sound Therapy Sessions in London
When your mind won’t switch off, your body stays tense,
or you simply can’t fully settle
Personalised one-to-one sessions using sound, vibration, breath and listening to support nervous-system regulation, reduce mental overload and help you reconnect with your body.
Indaba Yoga, Marylebone · 60 minutes · £110
You can begin with a first session, with no long-term commitment.
Why choose a one-to-one sound therapy session?
Unlike a group sound bath, a private session is shaped around you.
We begin with how you are feeling physically and mentally, then adapt the pace, intensity, instruments, vibration, breathwork and periods of silence according to what seems most appropriate in the moment.
This gives us space to work more specifically with things such as persistent mental activity, accumulated tension, difficulty relaxing, fatigue or periods of change.
A one-to-one session also allows you to:
- receive a session adapted to your state rather than following a fixed sequence
- explore what helps your system settle and what does not
- learn simple techniques you can use between sessions
- work at your own pace, without needing to achieve a particular experience
The aim is not to “fix” you, but to create the conditions in which your system can settle and you can listen more clearly to what is happening.
What happens in a one-to-one sound therapy session?
There is no fixed sequence to follow. The session is adapted to how you are feeling on the day.
1. We start by listening
We begin with a short conversation about what is happening for you - mentally, physically and emotionally - and what you would like support with. You do not need to prepare anything or know exactly what is “wrong”.
2. The session is shaped around you
You will usually lie down comfortably while I work
with a combination of sound, vibration, rhythm, voice, breath and silence.
Depending on your state and what seems most appropriate,
this may include singing bowls, gong, drum, voice or other forms of targeted sound work.
The intensity and pace are adjusted throughout the session
rather than following a predetermined sound-bath sequence.
3. We integrate what happened
At the end, we leave time to notice how you feel and discuss anything useful that emerged. Where appropriate, I may also give you a simple breathing, listening, humming or rhythm practice that you can use between sessions. You do not need to meditate, concentrate or make anything happen. Your role is simply to experience the session.
Is a one-to-one sound therapy session right for you?
These sessions may be particularly relevant if:
You find it difficult to switch off
Your mind remains active even when you are tired or trying to rest.
Your body carries persistent tension
You feel as though part of you is always “on”, braced or unable to fully settle.
You feel disconnected from yourself
You spend a lot of time in your head and find it difficult to notice what your body is telling you.
You are going through a demanding or transitional period
Stress, change, uncertainty or fatigue have left you needing more space and clarity.
You want support without having to perform or achieve anything
You would simply like a structured space to slow down, listen and experience what is happening.
You do not need previous experience with sound therapy, meditation or breathwork.
What clients say about one-to-one sessions
What may be used during the session?
There is no fixed instrument sequence and no assumption that one particular sound produces the same effect for everyone.
Depending on how you are feeling and how you respond during the session, I may work with:
The choice of sound is guided by observation, dialogue and your response during the session –
not by the idea that a particular instrument or frequency “treats” a specific condition.
Singing bowls
Sustained tones and vibration, used at different intensities and distances depending on what feels appropriate.
Gong
A broader and more complex sound spectrum, introduced progressively and adjusted according to your response.
Drum / rhythm
Simple rhythmic patterns that can bring attention back towards physical sensation, movement and pulse.
Voice and breath
Humming, toning, vocal sound or breathing practices that you can experience during the session and, when useful, continue using yourself afterwards.
BioTuning® within an ongoing process
BioTuning® is one of the approaches I may use when working with someone over several sessions.
It combines voice analysis as an orientation tool with targeted sound work and observation over time. The analysis does not diagnose a condition or determine what you “need”; it provides additional information that can help guide and adapt the work alongside dialogue and your lived experience.
Because the value of BioTuning lies in observing and adapting across sessions, it is offered only as part of a 3- or 5-session process, rather than as a stand-alone first session.
If you are new to Swiss Sound Therapy, you can simply begin with a single session. There is no need to decide in advance whether BioTuning is appropriate for you.
Session fees
All one-to-one sessions take place at Indaba Yoga, Marylebone, London and last approximately 60 minutes.
First / single session - £110
A good place to begin if you are new to Swiss Sound Therapy. There is no need to commit to a series of sessions in advance. You can experience the work first and decide afterwards whether further sessions would be useful.

About Othman Haddad (Otto)
Sound therapist and founder of SST
I have worked professionally with sound since 2012, supporting individuals
and groups in Geneva and London and training practitioners through Swiss Sound Therapy.
My approach has developed through years of practical experience with sound, vibration, rhythm, voice and listening. Rather than applying the same sequence or technique to everyone, I pay close attention to how each person responds and adapt the session accordingly.
I see my role as a facilitator rather than the person who “heals” you. I create a structured and attentive space in which your system has the opportunity to settle, and where you can notice more clearly what is happening in your body and mind.
This principle sits at the heart of Swiss Sound Therapy:
When the system settles, deeper listening becomes possible.

Frequently asked questions
There is no predetermined number. If you are new to Swiss Sound Therapy, I recommend beginning with one session and seeing how you respond.
Some people come for an occasional individual session; others choose to work over several sessions when continuity feels useful. There is no obligation to book a package.
No. You do not need to concentrate, visualise, meditate or achieve a particular state.
You will usually lie down comfortably and simply experience what is happening. I guide the session and adapt the work as we go.
That is completely fine. You do not need to arrive already calm.
The session does not depend on your ability to “switch off”. We work with the state you are actually in rather than trying to force relaxation.
You are welcome to tell me about sounds you particularly enjoy, dislike or feel sensitive to.
The instruments, intensity and pacing are then adapted according to your preferences and how you respond during the session.
Not exactly.
A sound bath generally follows a sequence designed for a group. A one-to-one sound therapy session is more individualised: we begin with a conversation and adapt the sounds, rhythm, vibration, breath and silence throughout the session according to you.
BioTuning® is designed to be used within an ongoing process rather than as a stand-alone treatment.
If it appears relevant after your first session, we can discuss whether including it in further sessions would be useful.
No. Swiss Sound Therapy is a complementary wellbeing practice and is not a substitute for medical, psychiatric or psychological assessment or treatment.
If you have a medical condition, are receiving treatment, are pregnant, have recently had surgery, are particularly sensitive to sound, or are unsure whether a session is appropriate for you, please contact me before booking and seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional where necessary.
