Creative Therapy Service

Meet Niamh

Niamh Conway is a registered Music Therapist with IACAT - Irish Association of Creative Arts Therapists and founder of Melodic Minds, a service that offers a creative arts space for children and young people to engage and access, as a therapeutic intervention, supporting their physical, emotional and mental well-being.

"Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears - it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more - it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity." - Oliver Sacks

What is Music Therapy

Music Therapy is an evidence-based profession that clinically applies musical and creative interventions with a qualified therapist. Sessions are offered in stages and monitored throughout with the parent / care giver ensuring the needs of the client are being met.

Whatever the needs may be, Melodic Minds are here to offer support with the tools and professional experience to develop a therapeutic relationship with the client to explore their inner self.

Home Based Creative Therapy Sessions

We take private referrals for individual music therapy. Each session is uniquely designed to meet the individual needs of our clients. Sessions vary from 30 – 50 minutes depending on the age of the child and their capacity to engage. A minimum of six assessment sessions are required. This can generally be facilitated within the comfort of your own home with the therapist regularly travelling to you.
