About the Practice
When a child needs sound or image before speech, music and art therapy can meet them where communication already exists. Kindling Therapies North East gives Newcastle upon Tyne families a creative therapy route for children and young people who cannot always explain distress through words alone. The work is therapy, not an art class, music lesson or drama club: the creative medium is used to support emotional expression, regulation and repair.

Why Work With Us?
North East Arts and Music Therapy: Parents can see the professional route behind the work, including protected-title or professional-body signals where available.
Parent and School Enquiry Route: Creative arts therapy can help a child communicate through image, sound, story, movement, metaphor or making when direct questions create pressure.
Parent and Setting Awareness: The service covers the Newcastle and Tyneside area, reducing the pressure on families to find a city-centre-only option.
