Music Therapy 

What is Music Therapy?

Music Therapy uses sound, rhythm and musical interaction to support emotional expression, communication and regulation. It offers a non-verbal way for children to explore feelings and connect with others.

How Music Therapy helps

Music can support emotional regulation, reduce anxiety and increase engagement. It can be particularly helpful for children who find talking therapies challenging or who benefit from sensory and creative approaches.

What sessions look like

Sessions may involve listening to music, playing instruments, using rhythm or creating sounds together. No musical experience is required. The therapist adapts sessions to the child’s responses and needs, ensuring a supportive and inclusive environment.

Working with parents and carers

Progress is shared through regular reviews, supporting understanding and continuity of care beyond sessions.
