"Tuning Relationships with Music® is a beautiful intervention for anyone who is working to heal the harmful impact of attachment trauma on relationships. Vivienne Colegrove is an exceptional clinician whose innovative work brings a wonderfully non-intrusive way of transforming relationships through music. The intervention extends and supports emotion-focused interventions which now have an extensive evidence base to support their use in parenting and child and adolescent mental health settings."

"The scaffolded learning and gradual introduction of new materials built on previous content, so that previous learning was reinforced and integrated with new learning as the level of complexity and skill increased. This was an innovative, original, and satisfyingly transformative method that has many uses in my work across different contexts, both within and beyond Family Therapy and parent-child dyads. Dr Colegrove’s scholarship, precision, and clarity make this a high-quality training that delivers successfully on—and transcends—its stated aims. This was one of the rare trainings I’ve attended where I felt my entire approach to therapeutic practice was expanded and transformed beyond the reliance on spoken words, with beneficial implications for my work with non-speaking and situationally mute people and many other people whose needs talk-based therapeutic methods fail to meet. I’m excited to continue exploring ways to share TRM with people to increase accessibility and inclusion. Thank you, Vivienne, for sharing this wonderfully respectful, gentle, and life-changing method with us."

"As a clinician I would highly recommend this program for anyone doing dyadic work. It offers a very practically based therapeutic intervention that offered a different lens through which to view my work."

Family support worker, Headspace (National Youth Mental Health Foundation)
"Tuning Relationships with Music (TRM) is a rich, informative, interactive, music-based & trauma-informed professional training. The TRM training & manual tools have boosted my confidence to approach dyadic work with parents and adolescents, in an engaging way through musical exercises that focus on non-verbal, somatic & mindfulness-based skills. I have found the regular group supervision sessions supported by Vivienne, as follow-up when integrating the training into my practice, very useful and supportive! I feel that any therapist working with adolescents and/or parents could benefit from the skills to be gained through this training program."

"The TRM training is thorough & practical, and Vivienne takes you through the steps clearly. I thoroughly recommend this training as it has supported my practice and added to my toolkit."

"Tuning Relationships with Music® has been a very welcomed and practical intervention for my toolkit.
If you're looking for an approach that will assist with parents being able to tune into their kids internal worlds prior to them opening their mouths to speak - this training is it.
You will help parents to tune into their own physiological awareness and responses and assist in parents becoming aware of their children's responses as well. This intervention is ideal to use prior to commencing family therapy. Do not worry if you are not musically inclined."
