Three communities. One way of listening.

Mental health and emotional wellbeing for young people

For teens and young adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, flat or anxious, and find it hard to put feelings into words.

Many young people already use music to cope. Music therapy helps them use it on purpose: to notice what they feel, name it, and make choices that build confidence and a sense of control. Sessions draw on Dr Kim’s PhD research into intentional music listening.

What sessions can include

• Intentional music listening and emotion playlists
• Songwriting and lyric analysis
• Learning or playing an instrument as a way to regulate and express
• Building coping strategies for stress, low mood and big emotions
• Healthy music and social media habits

Young people we often work with

Anxiety and stress · low mood · school refusal and disengagement · identity and self-esteem · autism and neurodivergence · emotional regulation · life transitions · grief and loss.

Music therapy works alongside, not instead of, psychology and medical care. We are trauma-aware and refer on when another service is a better fit.

Wellbeing workshops for schools

Practical, research-based workshops that teach students how music and media shape their mood, and how to use them on purpose.

Young people listen to hours of music a day. Our workshops turn that habit into a wellbeing skill, using the same research behind our clinical work.

Workshop menu

Workshops can run as one-off sessions, a term program, or part of a wellbeing week. All include take-home resources for students and teachers.
