Music & Sound Therapy
Music Therapy and Psychotherapy in Bristol

“Where Words Fail, Music Speaks”
Music is a fundamental part of being human, as it has the power to connect people in a way that words cannot, crossing all barriers. In a music therapy session, instruments and voices are used to help people to communicate in their own musical language, whatever their ability, providing emotional, sensory and intellectual stimulation experiences, supporting deepening clients’ ability to listen and experience being listened to, and developing tools with which they communicate.
Every person is unique, and our music therapy sessions are person-centred based and tailored to the client’s needs and interests, allowing each person to explore the world of sounds in their own unique way.
By responding musically, the therapist encourages this process and supports the expression of the person’s individuality, creating an inclusive and supportive environment.
We use a variety of music therapy techniques depending on the clients'
needs and preferences, such as rhythmic activities, singing, songwriting,
improvisation and many more.
In our practice, we also use electronic music and new technologies applied
to music production, as they offer a wide scope for different forms of
music-making, providing individuals with limited movement, the possibility
to create complex musical sounds, often with just a few finger taps.
We offer 1-on-1 and group music therapy sessions in our studio in the
centre of Bristol or in clients’ homes, schools and care homes.
Once the initial assessment is completed, therapeutic goals and objectives
are agreed upon between the music therapist and the client/caregiver.
During our practice, data are collected to show qualitative and/or quantitative results to reach our clients' goals. The progress of the music therapy is regularly reviewed at agreed intervals.
