Abstract: This case study presents the process of music therapy sessions in three instances of one-to-one client sessions and one online group session. Mr. Bob Heath, a music therapist with over 20 years’ experience, musician, songwriter, and singer, supervised these sessions, providing feedback and clinical support alongside Dr. Lois Paula Văduva, a recent music therapy graduates from The University of The West of England and reader at Emanuel University of Oradea, Romania. This research also illustrates the challenges of every session and the importance of practicing songwriting in a music therapy session. In addition, this case study highlights three techniques used during the study period: client-led lyric and songwriting, improvisation, and song narratives in a music therapy session. Lastly, the therapist’s reflections are presented to complete the overview of the work.
