About Music Therapy
“Music Therapy is an established psychological clinical intervention, which is delivered by HCPC registered music therapists to help people whose lives have been affected by injury, illness or disability through supporting their psychological, emotional, cognitive, physical, communicative and social needs.”
Music therapy is a professional form of support that uses music to help people express themselves, connect with others, and explore their emotions. In sessions, clients can sing, play instruments, or create music together with a trained therapist in a safe and supportive environment. No musical experience is needed—just a willingness to engage. Music therapy can benefit people of all ages and abilities, including those living with mental health challenges, learning disabilities, autism, neurological conditions, or dementia. It offers a unique, creative way to build communication skills, improve wellbeing, and find comfort through music.
