A lack of self-concept and self-esteem is often central to their difficulties. Whether the ‘treatment’ method for these young people is behaviour therapy or the more traditional psychotherapy, the lack of a solid communication base can remain the primary block to successful treatment.

‘In determining the best support service for the young person or adolescent, music can frequently be the preferred therapy, as it is often the only tool that enhances communication with this population’(Brooks, 1989).


Our Digital Music sessions are often successful, because adolescents usually relate well to their music as it is familiar to them. The non-verbal aspect of music makes it an excellent way to reach young people and allows for self-expression.

Techniques, such as song discussion and listening, are safe and non-confrontational. They remain one step removed from the clients' own experiences, allowing for the projection of personal thoughts and feelings into the discussion. Gaining musical skills, working toward a group music performance, and participating in listening and writing activities aimed at greater self-awareness, can all contribute to increased self-esteem.

Music is also useful for stimulating socialisation and verbalisation, and can often provide a common starting point for discussion and self-disclosure, as well as increased group awareness and cooperation.


 sessions are for young people and adolescents with emotional/behavioural problems.
