What is Music Therapy?

 Music  therapy is a regulated allied health profession that uses music and  therapeutic relationships to support emotional wellbeing, communication,  self expression and personal development. Delivered by an HCPC  registered Music Therapist, it can benefit children, young people and  adults with a wide range of needs and experiences.    


At Music Therapy with Beth, our approach is person centred and trauma  informed, recognising that every individual engages with therapy  differently. Sessions are tailored to each person's strengths, interests  and goals, supporting areas such as emotional regulation,  communication, confidence, self esteem, identity, resilience and coping  skills.    


Alongside music making, sessions may include improvisation, songwriting,  listening to music, recreating songs, therapeutic play,  psychoeducation, therapeutic conversation and the development of  practical coping strategies. I also use music technology and accessible  equipment to ensure therapy is inclusive and engaging for all.    


No musical experience is needed. Music therapy is about using music and  creativity as tools for connection, understanding and growth.

 Beth  is an HCPC-registered Music Psychotherapist working with children,  young people, adults and families across education, community and  specialist support settings. My practice is grounded in a  trauma-informed, person-centred approach, offering a safe and  collaborative space for individuals to explore experiences, emotions and  relationships through music and other creative and therapeutic  approaches.     


  Beth's training includes a BMus in Music and Popular Music from the  University of Wolverhampton and an MA in Music Therapy from the  University of Derby. Alongside over ten years of professional experience  as a musician, Beth has worked within specialist services supporting  children, young people and families affected by domestic and sexual  abuse, as well as individuals with learning disabilities and additional  needs.  Drawing on music therapy, creative arts approaches, play and  psychoeducation, Beth adapts her practice to the unique needs and  strengths of each individual.     


Beth's work is informed by a holistic perspective that recognises the  importance of relationships, support networks and individual context.  Beth is particularly passionate about incorporating the use of music  technology and a variety of accessible forms of musical expression,  helping to create therapeutic experiences that are meaningful, inclusive  and responsive to each individual's needs.

Beth is flexible in approach, and draws from therapeutic conversations, other creative mediums, play and psychoeducation to support clients, where appropriate. 

No! You don't have to have any experience with music at all. 


Music Therapy is not like a music lesson, and your music will not be marked or assessed. 


It is a free space for you to express yourself how you want, or work collaboratively to achieve your goals. 

Regularity of sessions can be tailored to individual needs, but typically they take place twice weekly, once weekly or fortnightly. 


A therapy session is typically 50 minutes long, but can be shorter, dependant on an individual's needs. 

Usually there is an initial session where Beth will meet/discuss on the phone the hopes and goals for therapy. From here, we can discuss routine, schedule and any specifics of the therapy. 


Beth can work alongside professionals and organisations to support things such as EHCPs. 


Assessment tools and measures may be used to track the progress of the goals of therapy. 

Music Therapy with Beth can take place within homes, school, care providers, organisations or any other location you attend. 


If you would prefer to attend a therapy office, please get in touch and I can discuss options for local spaces I use. 



Therapy contracts and consent forms usually get completed before the first session, however, we can do this in the initial session if preferred. 


The first session is usually where we would decide on goals for therapy, do some assessment tools if needed and get to know eachother a bit better. We would also confirm the frequency of sessions. 



Music Therapy with Beth is based in Derbyshire, and can cover Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, Leicestershire and the West Midlands. 


If you are in an area that is outside of these listed regions, please get in touch and we may be able to organise support for you or recommend another Music Therapy provider in the area.
