About the Practice
When your child is hard to reach through words but opens through sound, music therapy can build connection in home, school or community settings. Music Therapy With Tom Bournemouth gives Bournemouth 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.
