About

At the heart of Anam Ceol is our belief in the power of music and it’s potential to improve physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Our goal is to provide high quality, accessible,  professional music therapy services across the Midlands. We work to provide an individualised service to our clients to facilitate in achieving personal goals through the planned and intentional use of music interventions. We also aim to promote and increase awareness of the benefits of Music Therapy among other healthcare, education professionals, and the general public. 

Human beings are innately drawn to music and capable of engaging in musical activities. The ethos at Anam Ceol is that music should be accessible to all, regardless of musical knowledge or experience, skill level, socio-economic background, or ability. We want to show that engaging in music, whether it be listening to music or active music making, is beneficial to all people.

Anam Ceol Music Therapy was founded in 2017 by Bernadette Moran, IACAT Accredited Music Therapist. Since then, Anam Ceol has been providing Music Therapy services across the Midlands and adjacent areas in various healthcare, educational, and private settings.

Services

At Anam Ceol, our therapeutic approach is creative and humanistic. Sessions are client led and consist of interactive music making and music based interventions. With this kind of approach, the client is given the opportunity to express and process difficult emotions or issues through the use of music and with the support of the therapeutic relationship. The techniques used in music therapy are based on each individual client or group's needs and are chosen in line with each client’s therapeutic goals.

We currently provide Music Therapy services in Offaly, Westmeath, Longford and the wider Midlands area in both private and community/healthcare settings.
