Referral to Music Therapy

Music therapy can be beneficial for individuals facing a variety of challenges. Here are some reasons why someone may benefit from referral to music therapy:

• Children and Adults with Learning Differences: Support for individuals with learning difficulties, helping them to express themselves and engage with others through music.
• Children & Young People with Emotional Challenges: including SEN education. Helping children and young people navigate emotional struggles, build resilience, and express feelings in a safe, creative way. Music is an amazingly accessible way for children to express them selves freely.
• Mental health: Support for those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional regulation difficulties. We can write songs, listen or improvise music to explore emotions and deeply rooted challenges.
• Communication, Social Skills: Assistance for individuals with speech and language difficulties, autism, or social isolation to help improve self-expression and social connection.
• Cognitive & Physical Health: Aid in cognitive stimulation, motor skills development, and rehabilitation after injury or illness. When being physically impaired listening and creating music can help improve well being states.
• Older Adults: Individuals or groups with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, social isolation, confusion, or agitation, in one-on-one or group settings. Music therapy taps into the brain’s emotional areas, helping to reignite memories, ease agitation, and promote clarity. It fosters emotional connection, reduces isolation, and enhances well-being.
• Palliative & End-of-Life Care: Offering compassionate support to those in palliative care, helping to address emotional, spiritual, and social needs during this challenging time.
