Belltree support people facing challenges due to illness, disability, social isolation, trauma, or mental health difficulties, through the medium of music.
Music is unique in its ability to activate every area of the brain, bringing together thoughts, emotions and sensations. Everyone is born with the ability to respond to music, and music therapists are clinically trained to find ways to engage with each person to achieve their therapeutic goals; it is a creative way of providing psychological support without the need for words.
Belltree Music Therapy provides a place where you can discover new ways of relating with others, connect more deeply with yourself and express the indescribable. Music therapy offers clients the opportunity to be who they really are.
Music therapy is used to support people with a wide range of difficulties.
For example, we can help people on the autistic spectrum feel seen and accepted, people with dementia to feel less agitated and more connected with their loved ones, or someone with depression to understand themselves better and feel more able to regulate their emotions. We can help new and adoptive parents develop a bond with their child, or someone who has had a stroke to express themselves and begin to rewire their brain.
Many clients come to us finding it hard to articulate their feelings because of trauma, mental health issues, language, physical, cognitive, or emotional difficulties. Despite these very different conditions, the fundamental non-verbal quality of the work allows clients to process feelings and share their inner experience without the need to talk.
To have a music therapy support system in place can be extremely valuable.
Our team of HCPC registered music therapists are highly experienced and trained to help people of any age or ability use their natural musicality to support their social and emotional wellbeing, and personal development. All our therapists have Level 3 or 4 Safeguarding Training. Belltree Music Therapy are also able to offer specialist support including Vocal Psychotherapy, Neurologic Music Therapy, and Music and Mindfulness.
Our vision is to make music therapy accessible to everyone who needs it.
