Music Therapy in NW London? ( or surrounding areas?)

[bee169]

Just wanted to ask if anyone is doing this? If so please could you send me a recommendation.

Thank you!

bumping this - I'm in Berkshire & looking for a music therapist too (no luck so far :( )

I assume you have tried Nordoff Robins? See here based in NW5 but click on contact us and it will also give you the contact details for Berkshire.

Alternatively ring bamt (020 7837 6100) and ask them if there is anyone nearby or if they would be willing to put an advert in their members newsletter?

In response to your above message, I'm curious as to your music therapy requirements? I am am one of 12 people who have been offered a place to study a Masters in Music Therapy at Nordoff Robbins from Sept. The centre is based in NW London and I am sure I will be actively looking for clients before long. My main instruments are violin, piano and voice.

Hi Hayley,

My son (ASD , 4.5yrs) loves music. I was hoping to start music therapy for him to see if he responds to this kind of therapy. At the moment I see his main areas of difficulty being attention and communication. However when I play music to him, he seems to really focus. Please let me know if you are able to help.

Thanks

Great to hear your son responds well to music! In line with eatyourveg's suggestion, I would contact Nordoff Robbins who are based in Gospel Oak. They are one of the leading music therapy centres in the UK.

At the moment I am not in the position to personally offer help as people have to undergo 2 years of training before they can register as a music therapist. If, however I find that we are able to take on clients as we are training (from Sept) I will get back in touch.

I hope this helps.
