Our Services
Music Therapy
Music Therapy involves the use of music interventions to address individualised goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional. Our Music Therapists utilise the power of music to address these areas: cognitive, emotional, physical, social, and communication.
Music therapy transcends musical ability; it is a profoundly inclusive practice accessible to all who find solace, joy, and meaning in the language of music. Regardless of one’s proficiency or background in music, the therapeutic power of melody, rhythm, and harmony touches hearts and minds in profound ways. At its core, music therapy invites individuals to connect with their inner selves, express emotions, and navigate life’s challenges through the transformative medium of sound. It’s not about being a virtuoso, but about embracing the inherent beauty and healing potential of music; making it a professional yet deeply resonant journey for anyone who seeks solace, connection, and growth through the universal language of music. Our therapists create a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can freely express themselves and explore their inner experiences through music.
Our certified Music Therapists conduct comprehensive assessments to understand each client’s unique strengths, challenges, and therapeutic needs. Through observation, interviews, and standardised assessments, we gain insights into how music can best support the individual’s goals.
Based on the assessment findings, we develop personalised treatment plans tailored to address specific therapeutic goals. These goals may include improving:
- Verbal and Nonverbal Communication
- Emotional Awareness and Regulation
- Play and Social Skills
- Cognitive Functioning
- Fine and Gross Motor Skills
- Sensory Processing
Our Music Therapists employ a variety of evidence-based music interventions to facilitate growth and development in our clients. These interventions may include:
