Chroma wants to ensure that children and adults whose lives are affected by injury, disability, illness, trauma or other complex needs can access high-quality Music Therapy, Art Therapy and Dramatherapy in ways that enable them to develop, recover and fulfil their potential.
We aim to support people to build on their strengths, develop a positive sense of themselves, improve communication, participation, independence and emotional wellbeing, and achieve meaningful rehabilitation and therapeutic goals. Our work includes specialist practice in adoption, education and neurorehabilitation and is delivered in partnership with families, carers, professionals and wider support networks where appropriate.
We believe people should receive the right therapeutic support at the right time, in ways that are accessible, inclusive and responsive to individual communication, sensory, cultural and learning needs. Psychological safety and Safeguarding are fundamental to all of our work.
Our practice is informed by current research, clinical evidence, lived experience and professional best practice, and we are committed both to learning from what works and to contributing to the developing evidence base for the creative arts therapies.
We also recognise that safe, effective and sustainable therapy depends on well-supported therapists. We therefore prioritise the health, wellbeing, supervision and professional development of our therapists, enabling them to deliver their best work with clients. Above all, we aim to achieve outcomes that make a difference around our clients’ breakfast table – meaningful therapeutic change that can be seen and felt in everyday life.
Chroma is becoming more diverse in age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, ethnicity, and perspective. Whether you are a new client, a parent, a commissioner, one of our therapists or someone interested in working with us, we hope you see yourself in us.
