Music Therapy

Music therapy in Northern Ireland is a specialised form of therapy that utilises music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs. Trained music therapists employ various music-based techniques, such as improvisation, singing, playing instruments, songwriting, listening and discussions, to support clients in achieving their goals.

Art Therapy

Art therapy in Northern Ireland is a form of expressive therapy that uses creative art-making to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Combining psychotherapeutic techniques with the creative process, it helps individuals express difficult thoughts and feelings through visual means rather than words. Qualified art therapists work with people of all ages facing various challenges, helping them increase self-awareness, cope with stress, and experience the benefits of creative expression.

Play Therapy

Play therapy is a specialized therapeutic approach that uses play as a natural medium for children to express and process thoughts, feelings, and experiences they may struggle to verbalize. In a safe environment with carefully selected toys and activities, trained therapists help children work through emotional difficulties, trauma, or developmental challenges, facilitating healing and the development of healthy coping skills, emotional regulation, and social connections.

Person-Centred
Approach

Person-centered care is at the core of our music therapy approach, where each individual's unique preferences, needs, and goals take centre stage. By tailoring our music therapy interventions to the specific interests and experiences of our clients, we empower them to actively engage in their therapeutic journey and achieve meaningful and personalised outcomes.

FOR ALL AGES

Music therapy is a universally inclusive approach, designed to benefit individuals of every age group and ability. The transformative potential of music transcends barriers, offering therapeutic support and growth opportunities to everyone, regardless of their individual circumstances.
