From the cradle to the grave, music therapy can support people in a way talking therapy is not always able.

Stuart Watson is a music therapist and the clinical lead, of Make a Melody Ltd. based in Northern Ireland and in this episode, he helps us understand who music therapy can help, and how it works. Music is its own language, through which we can communicate, understand each other, and build relationships upon. Stuart explains how it can create bonds between parent and infant, how it can connect in a unique way with non-verbal people, how it offers comfort to people with dementia or at the end of their lives – all  through using the power of music and the framework of psychodynamic principles underpinning the work.
