Music Therapy can help...
Children
Music Therapy supports all facets of child development. Participation, engagement and a shared experience in music can support a wide range of needs including social, developmental, communication and emotional skills.
Teenagers
Powerful feelings such as stress and anxiety can have a deep effect on adolescents and those around them.
Music engagement can lead to positive outcomes, higher awareness of others and help them reach their full potential.
Young Adults
Music can provide a familiar and reassuring presence as a young person moves into the next stage of life, whether that means further education, employment, becoming more involved in their community or living more independently.
For young adults, individual or group music therapy can provide:
- opportunities to connect and socialise with others
- support with feelings of isolation or vulnerability
- a safe and consistent space to express emotions, with or without words
- support for emotional wellbeing during times of change
- a space to explore and process new experiences and feelings
- continuity and familiarity when other parts of life may be changing
Music therapy can offer a
steady and supportive space during a time of growing independence, new experiences and significant change.
Adults
Music can support adults through many different stages and experiences in life. It can provide a familiar and enjoyable way to connect, communicate, express emotions and support overall wellbeing.
Individual or group music therapy can provide:
- a safe space to express thoughts and feelings, with or without words
- opportunities to connect with others and reduce feelings of isolation
- support with confidence, self-esteem and emotional wellbeing
- ways to manage stress, anxiety and difficult emotions
- opportunities to maintain or develop communication, movement and thinking skills
- support through illness, injury or changes in circumstances
- a sense of achievement, enjoyment and purpose
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, abilities, interests and goals. No musical experience is needed.
