The field of psychology and mental health is a diverse one and it covers all manner of treatments to support people who are struggling with their mental health.

Music therapy is an established psychological clinical intervention, to help people whose lives have been affected by injury, illness or disability.

Music therapists draw upon the innate qualities of music to support people of all ages and abilities and at all stages of life; from helping newborn babies develop healthy bonds with their parents, to offering vital, sensitive and compassionate palliative care at the end of life.

In this episode I to talk to Dr Shane Cassidy. Dr Shane is a senior music therapist and the founder of Neurolinks Clinic in Ireland, which provides music therapy for people who are living with a nuerological condition, their caregivers and famalies.

Dr Shane and I have a facinating chat about how music therapy effects the brain and how it it used to help people with all manner of neurological and psychological conditions.

You will never listen to music the same way again after listening to Dr Shane.
