ApolloArt & Music Therapy
Services

Creative therapy, shaped around your child

Every child arrives somewhere different. We start by understanding yours, then choose the approach — music, art, or a blend — that gives them the most room to be understood.

The full comparison

Music therapy & art therapy, side by side

Both are recognised clinical therapies delivered by a trained, registered therapist. The difference is the medium — and which one opens the door for your child.

Music therapy
What it is
Using rhythm, melody, singing and instruments — with a therapist — to work toward emotional and developmental goals.
What a session looks like
Drumming to steady a mood, making up songs, taking turns on the keyboard, or simply moving to sound. Playful on the surface, purposeful underneath.
Often helps with
Self-regulation, speech and communication, motor skills, connection and turn-taking.
Who it often suits
Children who light up around sound, who find words hard, or who settle with rhythm and repetition.
Art therapy
What it is
Using drawing, painting, collage and clay — with a therapist — to explore feelings that are hard to put into words.
What a session looks like
Painting a worry, shaping clay when there's too much to hold, or telling a story in pictures. The work matters more than the artwork.
Often helps with
Anxiety, processing change or loss, trauma, self-esteem and self-expression.
Who it often suits
Children who process visually, who need distance from big feelings, or who prefer to make rather than talk.

Many children do best with a blend of both, and it's completely normal not to know where to begin. The intake call is where we figure it out together.
