Description
About the Practice
When a child connects through singing, rhythm or sound before spoken reassurance, music therapy can make support feel reachable. Belinda Lydon Music Therapy Swansea and Neath gives Swansea 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.
