The Rhythm Practice Newsletter

Issue 01 | Summer 2026

Welcome

Welcome to the first edition of The Rhythm Practice Newsletter.

We hope these occasional newsletters will give you an insight into our work, introduce members of the team, and share some of the projects, workshops and ideas that continue to inspire us. Whether you are a client, colleague, commissioner or supporter, thank you for being part of our journey.

About The Rhythm Practice

The Rhythm Practice is a collective of freelance arts psychotherapists based at The Pound Arts Centre in Corsham, Wiltshire. Together we support the mental and emotional wellbeing of people of all ages through psychotherapy, music therapy and creative arts therapy.

Each therapist works as an autonomous practitioner whilst remaining part of a supportive professional community. As affiliated members of The Rhythm Practice, we share knowledge, resources, safeguarding procedures and referrals, helping ensure that new clients are matched with the therapist best suited to their needs.

Growing the Team

2026 has been an exciting year as we welcome Sophie Barford and Lloyd Edwards to The Rhythm Practice.

Our therapists each bring their own musical backgrounds, creative interests and therapeutic approaches, creating a rich and diverse team. You can learn more about everyone by visiting the About Us section of our website.

Our Therapy Spaces

The Rhythm Practice is fortunate to have two dedicated therapy studios within The Pound Arts Centre — The Loft and The Blue Room. The Blue Room is a fully accessible, ground-floor therapy space, ensuring our services are available to as many people as possible.

Both studios are equipped with acoustic and electronic instruments, recording facilities and creative resources, providing flexible spaces for individual and small-group therapy. Alongside our work in Corsham, we also provide outreach services across Wiltshire, working with schools, Wiltshire Council, NHS services and community organisations.

Recent Projects & Workshops

Alongside our day-to-day therapeutic work, we continue to develop new projects, collaborations and training opportunities that support mental health and wellbeing across Wiltshire.

In July, Will Lawton was joined by renowned music therapist Bob Heath to deliver the sold-out workshop, Songwriting as a Therapeutic Practice, at The Pound Arts Centre. The day brought together therapists, healthcare professionals, community musicians and music leaders to explore the use of songwriting within therapeutic and community settings.
