Testimonial.
“Back in January, I saw a poster in my Drs Surgery about a project around mental health and music. I'm genuinely happy that I went for it because not only did they have many years collective experience, the quality was on point, they were open, understanding and facilitating…”
What to Expect.
Our pioneering therapeutic songwriting programs draw upon the latest research regarding this exciting development in music therapy. The aims of our latest programs are to assess and support the mental health and wellbeing of children and adults of all ages, by attending a short course where participants are encouraged to write their own song and record it in a style of their choice.
No previous experience in making music is necessary, as trained personnel will tailor their guidance to each individual’s interests, abilities and strengths. The same, qualified music therapist will be present at each session, giving participants the opportunity to establish a positive, creative connection along with personnel continuity throughout their experience. At times, a music recording engineer and local community musicians may also assist in the sessions.
The program’s courses usually take place over 2 hours per week for 4 weeks. At the end of their course, participants are presented with a professionally produced version of their song, along with suggestions for future activities and support.
Referrals and Outcomes.
Participants can self-refer to the programs via their local NHS social prescribing pathway, their G.P. or health care professional, who with permissions, are kept informed of the participant’s progress through the program. Alternatively, please GET IN TOUCH WITH US DIRECTLY to check availability of programs in your area.
Client groups who could benefit include those in assessment or recently discharged from inpatient services. Symptoms that can be addressed include depression, anxiety, personality disorder, autistic spectrum disorders, ADHD, OCD, PTSD and social isolation.
The pre-emptive assessments and monitoring inherent in this recovery-based program could identify the early markers that precede acute illness. The collaborative processes of engaging in various songwriting methods including improvisation, composition, creative writing and performance within a therapeutic relationship, can address psychosocial, emotional, cognitive and communication issues.
This program’s informal and bespoke therapy sessions attempt to encourage deeper personal insights during an organic journey of artistic self-expression. The course is positioned to provide long-term benefits by promoting pragmatic skill development, nurturing self-esteem and triggering a catharsis of self-discovery.
