Art therapy can also help improve client’s ability to manage anger, anxiety and depression, increase self-expression, confidence and communication, help develop trust and positive relationships, help develop resources to cope with life’s challenges, and promote creativity, imagination and playfulness.
Importantly, art therapy doesn’t require the client to be artistic, it is based more upon finding connections between creative choices and the clients’ inner life. The outcome of each session can become a trigger to help recall memories or tell stories that may reveal things from the unconscious mind - promoting healing or providing a deeper understanding of themselves.
Dramatherapy uses storytelling, play and movement to support people to understand themselves and make positive changes in their lives. Again, you don’t need to be an actor to take part, just express yourself.
It too can improve the ability to manage anger, anxiety and depression; help develop resilience; promote a better understanding of roles and responsibilities; increase self- expression, confidence and communication; help develop trust and positive relationships; improve concentration, coordination and body awareness; and develop resources to cope with life’s challenges.
Dramatherapy enables the client to explore difficult and painful life experiences through an indirect approach, allowing them to address and resolve, or make troubling issues more bearable. It enables the client to face unbearable issues in a safe, caring environment.

Music therapy uses music, sound, instruments, and music technology to support people to better understand themselves and make positive changes in their lives. It engages and supports children and adults with a range of psychosocial, emotional, medical or behavioural issues.
Music therapy can enhance parent-child attachment and bonding, increase self-expression, confidence and communication, help develop trust and positive relationships, encourage emotional literacy, improve concentration, attention span, motor planning and coordination, and promote community and team working.
Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) provides specific, individualised, and standardised interventions for those affected by neurologic injury or disease. It is a neuroscience model in which music is a hard-wired brain language and works to improve cognitive, sensory, and motor dysfunctions due to neurologic disease of the human nervous system. It’s an effective method of rehabilitation for those living with acquired brain injuries such as a stroke or injuries from a car crash.
With NMT, music can bypass damaged areas of the brain, providing a framework to do the part of the work the brain is not doing in coordinating movement. Music activates many different areas across the brain. The motor system is very sensitive to picking up cues from the auditory system so when we hear music, particularly pulse or rhythm, it kicks straight into the motor system going around the brain.
NMT can maximise outcomes for those living with acquired brain injuries, especially when working in tandem with a range of other health care professionals including nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and carers.
