Music therapy is a psychological intervention that uses music as the tool for delivery.  It can be used to support a variety of therapeutic aims, as well as speech and language, or physiotherapy aims and targets.

Arts therapists are accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council.  They have to adhere to a strict set of standards to ensure the highest standards of care and support.  Find out more on their website.

I work to increase the profile of music therapy as an industry outside of my sessions.  I do this via supporting The Music Therapy Charity as a governor, as well as working on high-quality assessment procedures for music therapists to use in their work.
