In children's hospices, special needs schools and hospital schools, Philip has been pioneering Poetry Therapy with profoundly disabled children, using his teaching and performance knowledge alongside his intuitive bardic and dramatic vocal and rhythmical skills.
Guided by Music Therapy, he has developed a new therapy based on the musicality and dynamism of the word that helps to evoke and express the feelings and choices of children by listening profoundly to their emotional and spiritual wishes.
His work was featured in an article in The Times which resulted in the donation of £2000 from a lady in Luxembourg. As a result, a new charity - The Alice Fund - was set up, to support the use of poetry in arts therapies for special needs children.
