Systemic Listening for a child with ASD and a compassionate presence for parents.
We attended (Tomatis) Systemic Listening Therapy for my son, and I took a number of Compassionate Inquiry informed sessions for myself.
From single words to full sentences.
We were not sure if our son (6 years old) would sit with headphones on... By God's grace, things went really well. When we started the first session SG was speaking only words, by the end of one cycle he started to speak in sentences
A six-year old’s triumph against severe sound sensitivity
Our son who is 6 years old has developed severe sound sensitivity and he started reacting to certain frequency of sounds. We used to find it very difficult to manage him outside home.
Liam’s safe space for music
From the very first call, Louise was warm, clear, and incredibly helpful. She answered all my questions and eased every doubt I had. Liam wasn’t easy to work with in the beginning he hated anything touching his ears, so getting him to wear headphones was a real struggle.
A non-verbal four-year old’s journey to self-expression
Little G came to Sonum when he was four. At the time, he was described as “almost non-verbal and unintelligible” to most people including his teachers. His parents’ primary wish was simple but profound: for him to become more conversational and age-appropriately expressive.
A mother’s shared rituals with her autistic son
We came to Louise through a friend’s referral. I wasn’t sure what to expect. But Louise- Swedish-Filipino, trained in Germany, and now based in Bangalore, has a calm, grounded presence that feels therapeutic in itself. She understands autism not just academically, but from the lived reality of families navigating it every day. Systemic Listening Therapy is unlike anything else.
A mother-son journey to better sleep and more confidence
I first heard about listening therapy from a friend whose daughter had shown big improvements in sleep. I was curious, especially for my son, M.A., who was born in 2016. He’s bright, deeply empathetic, and very active but he struggles with dyslexia.
