Therapy for Professional and Training Musicians

This scheme has now closed for 2024

Not everyone appreciates just how challenging Classical Music training is or how many complex situations and dynamics professional Musicians find themselves in.

Each year we offer a number of pay what you can afford EMDR trauma therapy sessions for professional and training Musicians for:

  1. Unemployed/ Low Income Professional Musicians & Conservatoire or University Music Students,

  2. Musicians (in any genre) from Global Majority or white minority backgrounds.

EMDR therapy is a short term intervention that was originally developed to support people with PTSD. It is now used for a much wider range of needs. The sessions are offered on a individual basis with a Therapist that has previous experience of Classical Music Training. Musicians from Global Majority backgrounds can request therapy with a therapist from a Global Majority background.

Musicians may find the sessions helpful to:

  • Overcome audition and performance anxiety,

  • Process previous traumas (music training/performance related or non music related),

  • Managing the challenges of high-pressured training, stress, and competition of Conservatoire or Music training,

  • Receive therapy for experiences of discrimination in the Music Industry
