About Clap & Toot

Who we are

Clap & Toot is a team of HCPC-registered music therapists based in London. We specialise in working with adopted and fostered children, young people, and their families.

Our approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and family-centred. We believe music offers a safe space for children and young people to express themselves, build emotional awareness, and develop strategies for self-regulation, while also supporting parents and carers to strengthen relationships at home.

Our story

`Clap & Toot began as a one-woman band. While living in Balham and searching for a music-related name, Crystal was struck by inspiration on a walk between Clapham and Tooting. And Clap & Toot was born.

One of Crystal’s first clients was an adopted child. She was touched by the commitment and openness of their parents. Soon after, Crystal was invited to deliver a webinar for We Are Family, the adoption charity. This connection expanded into an ongoing partnership with the adoption and special guardianship communities.

As Crystal built relationships with parents, social workers and educators, it became clear that developmental trauma work was where her heart and skills belonged. The demand for support grew, and she could no longer carry the whole caseload alone.

That was the moment Clap & Toot evolved from a solo practice into an ensemble of therapists who share the same ethos. Today, we are a team dedicated to helping children find their voices and families feel supported.

Our team

Clap & Toot is an ensemble of HCPC-registered music therapists. Each member of our team brings their own experience, strengths, and musical voice, but united by the same ethos: collaborative, attachment-focused and trauma-informed approach.
