💛 At Clap and Toot, our focus is simple: children and families come first.

We’re a team of HCPC-registered music therapists and EMDR practitioners specialising in adoption, fostering, and bereavement. While social media gives you a glimpse of what we do, our priority is always the therapy room — where real connection and healing happen.

Super excited and honoured that the podcast episode hosted by Diverse Mindss featuring me is finally out! We talked about the importance of incorporating play in work and how music therapy works. Diverse Minds also facilitated a great space for me to reflect on my journey of becoming a music therapist as an immigrant and how I navigated challenging times with the support of my friends and family. Do check it out if you have a moment!

In this week's podcast I speak to music therapist Crystal Luk-Worrall about adult play, music and connection as well as her career journey.

I love it when parents ask me 'how do I get my child on board for therapy?' It is so important for us to support children with emotional needs in ways that are respectful to them. Here are 6 tips on preparing your child to engage in therapy.

Children should be an active part of their therapeutic journey - from deciding what type of therapy to engage with 🎨🎤 to finding a suitable therapist. This can reduce anxiety and allow children to make use of therapy fully. We've created a child-friendly, narrated video to give children an idea of what to expect of their first music therapy sessions.
