The Safe and Sound Protocol is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that is a practical application of Polyvagal Theory.
It is designed to increase a sense of safety and expand one’s window of tolerance through specially filtered music and is intended to complement other therapeutic approaches and modalities.
The SSP is suitable for children and adults and is delivered through an app-based platform and can be done in-clinic or remotely with over-the-ear headphones. There are noticeable benefits including improved focus, regulated emotional and physiological state, and positive social engagement.
Therapists play a crucial role in creating a safe and co-regulatory environment for the participant to listen to the music receptively. The program aims to support the development of one’s authentic self by carefully titrating the “sound” to meet the individual’s needs.
We recognise the power of shared experiences and offer group therapy sessions that foster community and connection. In these supportive and inclusive environments, you can engage with others with similar experiences, share insights, and learn from one another.
We believe therapy and support should be accessible to every family. If individual therapy isn’t a viable option or the right fit, our group therapies provide a welcoming path to explore and understand your authentic self.
