Music Therapy for Mental Health

As an alternative to talk therapy, music therapy can support individuals to process and express their thoughts, feelings, and emotions in a safe and contained way.

Music therapy provides a creative outlet to explore the following:

  • Interpersonal relationships 
  • Revisit and understand challenging events 
  • Develop healthy coping mechanisms 
  • Build emotional recognition and regulation

When used by Registered Music Therapist, music can be utilised to target neurological and psychological processes to enable:

  • Improved mental wellbeing and mood
  • Stress and anxiety reduction 
  • Emotional expression and release 
  • Coping and resilience 
  • Enhanced self-esteem and confidence 
  • Trauma processing

At Music Beat Therapy Services, our Registered Music Therapists are trained in developing individualised and tailored mental health support plans to meet your specific needs, preferences, and goals.

A music therapy session may involve:

  • Instrumental play and improvisation 
  • Song writing or recreation
  • Developing new or existing musical skills 
  • Guided listening and reflecting 
  • Singing 
  • Movement
