Words from parents & carers
Music therapy is a lifeline for our child.
Caroline & Sukdev*
Our child’s anxiety tendencies have calmed down monumentally. They are now much better when it comes to anxiety and reasoning things out. They seem a very different child to me now to the one a year ago. My child is now ready to tackle life!
Laura & Tim*
Music therapy reaches our child and allows them to open up and engage without finding the process intrusive. For the first time in years we notice progress in our child’s willingness to reflect and talk about their feelings and share these thoughts both with the therapist and within the family.
Leyla*
My child’s OCD / anxiety tendencies have really calmed down monumentally. They are now so much better when it comes to anxiety and reasoning things out. They seem a very different child to me now to the one a year ago. My child is now ready to tackle life!
Sarah*
I have seen my child's confidence and self-esteem grow over the last few months. Music is a way for them to communicate and to be heard. My child responds very well to their therapist. They are a perfect team!
Rachel*
Music has order and a natural flow that helps Autistic individuals to connect with others. My child fully enjoyed their online sessions. As a mother, it's good to see how music calms my son down.
