Music therapy

What is music therapy?

Working one-to-one or with small groups, our therapists create a platform for people to express themselves and share a connection.

No one is being taught. No one is being fixed.

Therapist and client make music together as equals, responding to each other's cues. No two sessions are the same, because no two clients are the same. A session might involve piano, voice, drums or harp — whatever invites a response.

For some people, music is their only reliable way to communicate. Music therapy gives that communication a space, an instrument and a skilled partner.

Questions, answered

FAQ.

Do I need musical ability?

No. There is no wrong note. The therapist works with whatever you bring — a hum, a tap, a glance.

How long are sessions?

Typically 30 to 45 minutes, weekly. We'll talk through what fits before anything is confirmed.

Can sessions happen at our setting?

Yes — we work in schools, care homes, hospices and day centres across the UK, as well as in our own centres.
