Supporting Families and Children Through Integrated Therapeutic Approaches

Families with young children today face numerous challenges, including language delays, speech issues, behavioral problems, emotional fragility, and difficulties with sleep or eating. Paola Lazo, an internationally renowned psychotherapist, has dedicated over 30 years to working with children across the globe. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates various therapeutic modalities, achieving remarkable success with families—whether they are dealing with single-parent dynamics, twins, autism, or disabilities. By assessing the family environment and offering targeted guidance and resources, Paola helps parents make significant improvements in their children’s day-to-day lives, fostering lasting positive change.

In addition to traditional psychotherapy, music therapy plays a crucial role in supporting children’s development. As a paramedical discipline, music therapy uses the fundamental qualities of sound—such as rhythm, harmony, and melody—to stimulate cognitive, emotional, and physical growth. This form of therapy is particularly effective for children with autism, attention disorders, and behavioral challenges. It helps enhance their motor skills, emotional bonding with parents, and brain development.

At Music-Therapy England Kent, therapists combine active dynamic music therapy with sensory integration therapy to address a range of challenges, from autism spectrum disorders to sleep and eating difficulties. By fostering a deeper connection between children and their families, these therapies create the foundation for a more harmonious and fulfilling life for all involved.
