Music plays an invaluable and unique roll in enriching the lives of older people experiencing dementia, bereavement, depression and facing the end of life. Each client’s own powerful, deep connection with music can be reached and drawn upon to restore a sense of self, vitality, and facilitate connection with others. Our Music Therapy session is often the highlight of my client’s week, as it can restore a sense of well-being that extends beyond the session https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/1621438829205-322JT6QL3G96Q7Z6FEWJ/20210518_193046.jpg Home - What is Music Therapy for Children and Young People? Music therapy offers a creative, attuned relationship in which a child’s individual needs can be supported through shared musical play. It is an established intervention in the UK for children with developmental disorders and students experiencing social, educational and mental health issues. Sessions can encourage the development of positive communication, support self expression and foster the growth of self-esteem. I strongly believe that children who take part in Music Therapy discover a sense of themselves, as creative and capable, in a way that can be new to them and those who support them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/de19d0e9-8d3e-41c0-a367-25302992902c/Wide-screen.png Home - Music and Imagery Therapy (MIT) MIT is a psychotherapeutic technique that combines listening to music with image-making and other creative responses. It is a gentle but powerful method that connects with a client’s inner resources to grow positive aspects of themselves. SMI clients gain resilience and a stronger sense of self. A client’s participation in their therapeutic journey can make a real difference to their well-being. MIT can address issues related to trauma, depression, anxiety, life-transition, stress and bereavement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/9c62b901-10dc-49f5-8db6-e22d5ada18b3/instrument+image+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/889c5066-718f-47ab-b012-939727081b59/resonant.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/1ff5ab6f-7972-4cf1-88b0-e4bffaebfb5a/music+therapy+%28brenda%29+3.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/31ff20c3-a187-4e50-80ba-be9fb0a3d3e7/Close-up.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/66a00e30-99f3-4ea9-a6a4-c8b167ac9e2e/music+therapy+%28brenda%29+5.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/952cf4da-393b-4f09-aa8a-49ca167a2fd4/colourful.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/488ffa45-254c-4f4e-90ad-52202ff6c561/hcpc1-1.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/8fc604cf-c7df-482d-b597-cc146c131687/Wide-screen.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/2bf73b28-f029-46f1-bbf7-19ef51c8c380/therapeutic+teaching+%28brenda%29+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/042f6d43-364e-489a-ae4f-29b9045b9b0e/wooden.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/1628334484432-RMRHW71M14CPU8P2MTK5/50m.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/93c4a1e7-814d-4bc6-8ad7-9e86f8c04652/secondary.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/c018a6f0-b912-4187-9926-b5514fb76486/20210518_192643.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/8fc604cf-c7df-482d-b597-cc146c131687/Wide-screen.png Home https://www.awmusictherapy.co.uk/older-people daily 0.75 2021-08-30 https://www.awmusictherapy.co.uk/children daily 0.75 2021-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/da59fac0-cdc6-49b7-a854-67cec1522e64/20210518_192951.jpg Children and Young People https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/6f639eaa-c4c3-42cb-8346-1f5a054eff31/20210518_132638.jpg Children and Young People https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/c51505e2-5fab-4496-b69d-bbceb8d72285/50m.png Children and Young People https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/e541fb4a-c517-4abc-8a62-de5a174c8c2b/20210518_193456.jpg Children and Young People https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/588bbdd2-c841-4592-85d6-6c66282e0c83/18m.png Children and Young People https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/c018a6f0-b912-4187-9926-b5514fb76486/20210518_192643.jpg Children and Young People https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/4e99030d-d16c-42ad-a4d5-8088cda45ffb/20210518_193333.jpg Children and Young People https://www.awmusictherapy.co.uk/about-me daily 0.75 2025-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/2dbdc135-851f-4406-b215-13c206772203/secondary.jpg About Abby Wollston MA (Cantab), ARCM (PG), MA Music Therapy - Abby Wollston MA (Cantab), ARCM (PG), MA Music Therapy, Diploma in Music Imagery Therapy (MIT) My practice as a therapist has been shaped by my experience as a talented, creative musician, and through my deep ongoing engagement with psychotherapeutic and psychological thinking. Each client for me presents an invitation to find a new way to unlock creative potential and connect with the core self of each individual through using music. I love being part of this process, using sound to effect change and positive growth. I am seen as an imaginative, empathic practitioner using a wide range of therapeutic techniques and clinical approaches to meet the needs of each individual. I have chosen to work in a freelance capacity as this allows me to work directly with families and referrers. I believe this offers the highest quality therapy, tailored to each individual client. I am experienced in using MIT (Supportive and Re-educative Music imagery Therapy) as a powerful method to support adults and young people - online or in person. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/1628348392332-6OGK1WOTNO086PBV75DA/about_me.png About Abby Wollston MA (Cantab), ARCM (PG), MA Music Therapy - “[Music]-Giving all, Receiving never ” — Excerpt from ‘Music’ by Sydney Dobell https://www.awmusictherapy.co.uk/fees daily 0.75 2025-11-02 https://www.awmusictherapy.co.uk/contact-me daily 0.75 2021-10-03 https://www.awmusictherapy.co.uk/music-therapy-general daily 0.75 2021-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/41ed39d2-aa34-4e41-9b12-3d561db771f4/20210518_192643.jpg Music Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/211dc52e-cac7-44b7-8e75-7d36acfdbe87/instrument+image+1.jpg Music Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/e2a398f8-4bb6-4330-967f-d81c6f36f0e8/music+therapy+%28brenda%29+3.jpg Music Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/01be997b-f4cc-44ec-8cea-8fc398d8becf/music+therapy+%28brenda%29+5.jpg Music Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/5516ef14-ec6b-4b3e-ad5c-7c80cd0d08f9/therapeutic+teaching+%28brenda%29+1.jpg Music Therapy https://www.awmusictherapy.co.uk/testimonials daily 0.75 2023-06-18 https://www.awmusictherapy.co.uk/smi daily 0.75 2025-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/31ff20c3-a187-4e50-80ba-be9fb0a3d3e7/Close-up.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/de19d0e9-8d3e-41c0-a367-25302992902c/Wide-screen.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608fb29b994fb525aa2f2faa/b670763e-1190-4577-9115-7ebe9d31bcb0/blob.png
