Music Therapy
A unique therapeutic approach harnessing the power of music to access deep emotional healing.
Music therapy offers a deeply personal and creative way to explore emotions, process experiences, and support recovery. For many, traditional talk therapy alone may not fully address the emotional depth of eating disorder recovery. By using sound, rhythm, and guided musical exploration, music therapy provides an alternative pathway to healing that is intuitive, expressive, and profoundly therapeutic.
At Ianthe House, we integrate evidence-based and somatic approaches into our recovery programs, and music therapy aligns seamlessly with our philosophy—helping you reconnect with yourself in a non-verbal, deeply embodied way.
+ a safe space to explore emotions that are hard to verbalise
+ guided sessions using sound, instruments, and musical improvisation
+ a research-backed approach that enhances emotional resilience
