ABOUT THERAPEUTIC SONGWRITING

What is Therapeutic Songwriting?

Therapeutic Songwriting is a unique form of music therapy that enables children and adults to process their thoughts, emotions and life situations through words and music in order to journey towards wellbeing.


When a person engages with the therapeutic songwriting process the resultant song is honest, revealing, healing and often opens pathways towards positive change. 

​

HOW DOES IT WORK?

​

Jungian psychology suggests there are four stages along the therapeutic journey: ​Confession - accepting the truth of a situation, presenting problem or condition.  Elucidation - enabling the root causes of these presenting problems/conditions to have a voice. Education - working with the therapist to seek potential ways forward. Transformation - helping each individual engage in a new relationship with their past, present and potential future. Music and songwriting is used as the enabling medium to allow this process to develop at a pace that is right for each person.

MY STORY

I began Therapeutic Songwriting in 1992 whilst working in a Romanian orphanage. I later trained as a Play Therapist and now specialise in Therapeutic Songwriting and Jungian Sandtray and am an associate lecturer at the University of the West of England in Mental Health. 

​

As well as facilitating therapy sessions at my private practice I also train Music and Play Therapists in Therapeutic Songwriting techniques in the UK and abroad.
