Belltree Music Therapy CIC

Belltree Music Therapy CIC supports people who seek a way of relating without the need for words.

We provide music therapy for some of the most vulnerable people in Brighton & Hove and Sussex communities on a not-for-profit basis. These include children and adults whose physical, cognitive, or emotional condition makes it difficult for them to communicate with words. For example, people with physical and learning disabilities, autism, dementia, brain injury and mental health conditions, and people who have experienced trauma.

The purpose of our work is to build emotional resilience and increase our client's motivation to connect with others, thereby strengthening relationships, reducing social isolation and enabling a better quality of life.

Music therapy enables expression of deep emotions through a creative process using sound, rhythm and silence. For some, this is the only time in their week they are able to connect with others. We believe that everyone has an equal right to psychological support so we strive to reach those who cannot easily access verbal therapies.

Why the community needs us
Our HCPC registered music therapists work in schools, hospitals, care homes, day centres and private homes with a wide range of individual clients and groups.

We also provide arts in health projects, for example 'Dusty Bluebells' which takes nursery school children into care homes and our pop-up-recording studio 'Core Sounds' in Youth Club settings.

Common benefits from music therapy are increased emotional resilience, improved social and communication skills and a more positive outlook on life.
