NEW Group Therapy for music professionals

We are delighted to announce a second Group Therapy series for music professionals in partnership with The Royal Society of Musicians.

It is no secret that a career in music can be tough. The mental health challenges faced by music professionals are many and varied. That is why we have teamed up once again with the Royal Society of Musicians, who have the following mission:

To provide vital financial support, advice and guidance to those within the music sector who are unable to work owing to physical or mental ill health and to nurture an organisation that can achieve this. 

Following the initial group from 2025, The Royal Society of Musicians and Tonic Music are providing a further 12 FREE Group Therapy sessions for music professionals, facilitated online by two psychotherapists with significant experience working in music - Dr Adam Ficek and Jade Hughes.

“This group therapy will provide music professionals with a unique experience to share their experiences and feelings with others in a safe and supportive environment. This process will also help individuals gain greater insight into themselves and to become aware of how their feelings and behaviours may be impacting their professional and personal relationships.

Acting as a microcosm of the outside world, the group will encourage participants to reflect on these feelings and patterns of behaviour, so they may gain understanding and have the opportunity to create positive changes. By participating in group therapy individuals can benefit from developing emotional connections with their fellow group members as well as therapeutic support from the facilitators.”
