About Ealing Music Therapy
For over 35 years, Ealing Music Therapy has provided life-changing therapy to children and young people with additional needs across the London Borough of Ealing in West London. As a registered charity, our mission is simple: to improve lives through Music Therapy.
What is Music Therapy?
Music Therapy is a widely recognised healthcare intervention. By using sound, musical interaction and play, Music Therapy is proven to help:
- Develop social and communication skills
- Improve attention and awareness
- Support emotional regulation and wellbeing
- Build confidence and self esteem
- Manage Behaviours that Challenge
- Provide a safe and therapeutic environment for children and young people to express difficult emotions
Where We Work
Our services currently operate through two main pathways:
- School Partnerships: We partner with five schools across the London Borough of Ealing to provide Music Therapy sessions as part of the school day.
- Community Saturday Music Therapy Service: We run a dedicated Saturday Service in Ealing Broadway for children and young people who cannot access therapy at school.
Our Clinical Standards
Our dedicated team consists entirely of fully qualified, DBS-checked Music Therapists. Every therapist is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the UK’s official regulator for health and care
Our Impact
Last academic year alone, we proudly supported over 100 children and young people.
“Music Therapy has enabled pupils to develop a positive relationship and interactions with their therapy partner, increase vocalisations, gain confidence, and develop some stability with their emotional and physical wellbeing.”
