Flying the flag for Music Therapy!
Last Friday I had the opportunity to share the benefits of Music Therapy in adult mental health at the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Eastern Region Conference. This was a presentation using a service evaluation and report written by me, whilst working as a music therapist in an acute mental health setting. One of the doctors was keen that this be shared and recognised by other health professionals. Here is the team that put it together!

I had a great time this week with a highly experienced Music Therapy colleague visiting a local university. We delivered a presentation and workshop for trainee counsellors, exploring how Music Therapy can provide clients with a non-verbal means of expression. The trainees were invited to choose a musical instrument and to have conversations and interact with the group, through them. During this there was a marked shift in curiosity as trainees recognised how their instrument choices and ways of playing and interacting with other members of the group arose from unconscious processes. The parallels and differences between talking therapies and music therapy were explored as well as how a music therapist seeks to build a therapeutic relationship with a client through the music in a creative, non-verbal way.
