About Lyrical Minds

Who Are Lyrical Minds ??

We are a new music therapy company based in Birmingham UK that specialise in Rap, Hip-Hop and DJing. We noticed that there was a gap in the UK therapy market for the services that we provided. Due to stigma around Rap and Hip-Hop it has taken many years for these services to be accepted and recognised, thanks to our CEO (Naviella Dowds) we can now offer what the UK has been waiting for. At Lyrical Minds we do not discriminate and are trained to handle difficult situations and circumstances. we will not tolerate racism in any shape or form, and have safeguarding policies and procedures in place to make sure that we uphold an exceptional standard of quality and care. 

Our Experience

Our team has years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families overcome a wide range of mental health issues. We specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and social class issues.

Our Philosophy

We believe that everyone has the potential for growth and change, and that Rap, Hip-Hop and DJ  therapy can help unlock that potential. We provide a safe and supportive environment where our clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment through a genre and culture of music that they can relate to.

Meet Our CEO Naviella Dowds (Music Psychotherapist)

I am a HCPC accredited music therapist, My motivation for Lyrical Minds stems from my own experience of Music Therapy training.​ I noticed Rap & Hip-Hop were not discussed or a part of the curriculum; this was upsetting. The lack of knowledge around Black culture was evident, which made me question the inclusivity.
