Frequently Asked Questions
Do children need musical experience?
No- No musical background is required! The focus is on expression and emotional learning, not performance or skill.
Is this like music lessons?
No. You Rock! Therapy is a therapeutic process, not a music lesson. The focus is emotional expression and wellbeing.
Do I stay in the room during sessions?
No. Child-centred play therapy is usually a one-on-one space between your child and the therapist. This helps children feel safe to express themselves freely and build independence in the therapeutic relationship.

Sessions are typically 45 minutes.
How many sessions will my child need?
Every child is different. Some children benefit from short-term support, while others engage over a longer period. Your therapist will regularly review progress with you.
