Older people and adults

Music Therapists work in a variety of settings including care homes, hospitals, in-patient and out-patient units, short break centres and hospices. 

We offer a range of flexible Music Therapy services that can support adults with learning disabilities; mental health issues; acquired brain injury; life limiting illness, progressive neurological diseases such as dementia, and end of life care. 

Music Therapists work as part of the multi-disciplinary team around each patient, providing unique insights and approaches in both clinical assessment and treatment plans. Part of the power of Music Therapy is in the ability to work non-verbally through a programme of clinical intervention. On occasion we may offer sessions which include other professionals, such joint sessions with speech & language therapists to promote communication.

For those experiencing memory loss or dementia, music therapists employ specific techniques which can reduce anxiety and agitation, enable communication and create the opportunity for dialogue and emotional expression.
