WHO IS IT FOR

Music Therapy

WHO IS IT FOR

Our network of music therapists work with people of all ages and with a range of conditions, however, the main body of our experience is with young people with special needs. We have worked 1000s of children since 2008, as many schools and facilities continue to realise the far-reaching benefits of music therapy.

Providing music therapy to infants and children with autism, challenging behaviour, special needs, learning disabilities and communication disorders. We also support adults experiencing: mental health issues, dementia, bereavement, addiction and eating disorders, anger management issues, and stress. In addition, we have a great amount of experience working with children in care (Looked After Children).

If you are a parent, carer, professional or someone who wishes to make a referral, please contact MTW and we will email you a referral form and guidance notes.

"As an MTW approved supervisor, I have witnessed MTW MTs encouraging, reflecting and reaching deeply held feelings that may not have otherwise ever have been expressed or heard. They then use these observations and information to determine the best way forward for a successful therapeutic process."

“(Music Therapy) gives all of the children a space to express themselves. We notice a change in them whilst in the sessions. We also notice that they come back to class calmer.”

“Music allows us to meet clients at these moments where there are no words. It provides a language which the music therapist uses to allow each individual to process and move through even the most unbearable experiences.”
