Our Music Therapy Services
Chiltern Music Therapy offers a number of different services but the important thing to remember is that we work with everyone. We take referrals for babies, children, adults and older people with:
- Learning disabilities, including Autism and Asperger's syndrome
- Traumatic brain injury
- Dementia
- Mental-health and emotional difficulties, including post traumatic stress disorder
- Neurological conditions, including stroke, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Huntingdon's disease
- Behavioural difficulties, including ADHD
- Sensory impairments
- Cancer, life-threatening illnesses and those in palliative care
- Anyone for whom traditional talking therapies are not suitable or appropriate
We offer individual sessions and group sessions on a weekly basis throughout the Chilterns and beyond, with main bases in Chesham, our outreach post in Hampshire and in the near-future, in Aylesbury. For sessions outside the locality of our main bases or for organisations, we can offer sessions provided there is more than one individual or group session needed.

For people with a brain injury or for those who live with a neurodisability, Music Therapy is an intervention which provides an excellent medium for assessment of current needs, and assists with developing skills in speech and communication, cognition, emotional and behavioural needs and motor skills. Specifically Music Therapy can help people who:
- Have suffered a stroke
- Are diagnosed with Huntington’s disease
- Have a brain injury as a result of an accident or of an internal bleed
- Are diagnosed with Parkinson’s
- Are diagnosed with Rett syndrome
- Have a diagnosis of any other neurodisability.
We know that Music Therapy is accessible to everyone, but we understand that sometimes people need additional support. That's why we have carefully selected links with Partner Organisations to enable all our referrals to have access to other Health Professionals in the area.
