Individual Music Psychotherapy
By engaging in songwriting, lyric discussion, clinical improvisation, and guided meditation exercises, you will develop tools for creative expression that will allow deeper insight and understanding of your feelings.
Music psychotherapy is definitely not limited to musicians, and is accessible for those with no musical training or background.
If you are interested, you will be invited to an initial assessment meeting to discuss what you hope to gain or resolve via music psychotherapy. I usually suggest six sessions to start with. Thereafter if this is useful and beneficial for you ongoing work will be offered.
The process of music therapy may feel odd or a bit embarrassing to start with. However, surprisingly quickly you will find this enjoyable and rewarding as it helps you to explore your inner world and improve your relationships with yourself and with others.
Sessions are usually once a week, between 60 and 90 minutes duration.
Online
Techniques are mainly receptive (music and imagery, guided meditation, mindfulness, etc.). But we also integrate elements of composition and songwriting or the use of the voice, if needed.
You need to have a quiet and private space, headphones and a reliable internet connection.
In person (Bristol, UK)
A range of active and receptive techniques are offered, in a music therapy space. We count with diverse musical instruments to explore, so improvisation-based techniques are often prioritised.
There is also a reclining seat for meditation-based exercises.
Group Music Psychotherapy
Group therapy differs from individual therapy as the diverse experiences, abilities and backgrounds of the other members can offer valuable insight and support.
Music therapy groups are a helpful way to explore personal and group themes in a supportive, non-judgmental and confidential space. Participants are invited to create, listen and discuss music together, and the therapist will facilitate specialised techniques and exercises in line with the group themes, interests and suggestions.
