Music therapy delivered from our centres
There are many conditions or circumstances that might lead to a person of any age having difficulty finding avenues for communication. These include learning disabilities, mental health, autism, brain injury, dementia, life-limiting illness and trauma or grief. If you or someone close to you might benefit from the power of music making, making a referral is simple.
- Anyone can make a referral. This can either be done directly by yourself or by a parent, carer or professional.
- Referrals can be made online.
- We provide music therapy services in Birmingham, Cardiff, Croydon, Fife, Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle upon Tyne, North London, Poole and Swansea.
- Depending on the current level of demand in each of our regions, we can usually only accept new referrals in selected locations.
