Individual music therapy focuses on a person-centred approach. Placing the client at the heart of the therapeutic process. This method tailors the sessions to the needs of the individual. Building a relationship with the therapist to work towards therapeutic goals.

I work with people across the lifespan. From children with additional learning needs to older adults living with dementia.

If you are interested in individual sessions for yourself or a person you care for please get in touch.

Individual Music Therapy Sessions can be beneficial to a wide range of individuals across the life span:

  • Children and young people (in mainstream or SEN education).

  • People experiencing issues with their mental health such as depression and anxiety.

  • People experiencing bereavement.

  • Learning Disabled Adults and Children.

  • People who have experienced a stroke or brain injury.

  • People living with Dementia / Alzhiemer’s.

  • People living with cancer.

  • People living with a chronic illness / pain.

  • People living with a life limiting condition.

Sessions may involve music making with instruments, improvisation, listening and discussing music, therapeutic song writing, movement to music and much more…

Sessions are tailored to meet the needs of the individual and consider factors such as sensory and physical requirements. I have a variety of musical instruments and equipment I use in sessions. Adaptations can be made where possible to create an environment for musical discovery.

Ideally, it is recommended that individuals receive at least 6 sessions where we can continue to work towards therapeutic goals. Assessments and reports will be provided in order to document the progress of the sessions.

Music For Joy offers different ways for you to be able to access sessions:

Mobile service: Sessions can take place in the comfort of your own home. I am able to travel to you and bring my musical toolbox along.

Online: Sessions can be held online over microsoft teams. This will require you to have access to internet connection and a device that can use teams.

In person: Sessions can be accessed in the community at Gwent Music HQ and other venues depending on location.

Price of sessions are based on guidelines from BAMT.
