MUSIC THERAPY 

Music therapy is an established HCPC registered intervention, which focuses on using live improvised music to affect change in social and emotional well being, 

​

Music therapy can be used for individual therapy work as well as to support and improve parent/carer-child relations. Through musical play, positive experiences can be created allowing both parent/carer and child to interact in new and engaging ways, leading to strengthened relationships.

​

The aim of using music therapy with families is to create:  

• positive, shared, spontaneous, playful and creative experiences in the carer/parent- child relationship

• opportunities for the family to strengthen their reciprocal communication skills through turn-taking, imitation, reflection, listening, songs, dance and movement

• support parent/carer-child attunement
