Our approach
As a Registered Music Therapist (RMT) with the Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA), I support individuals and families to work toward personalised therapeutic goals through music.
I take a flexible, client-centred approach, recognising that support needs can change across different stages of life. I aim to meet you where you are, creating a safe and responsive space that supports your strengths, preferences, and goals.
Music therapy may support you or your loved one during times such as pregnancy and early parenting, developmental differences, illness, emotional challenges, grief, or experiences of loss. Sessions are tailored to your individual needs and may focus on areas such as emotional expression, regulation, communication, connection, and overall wellbeing.
Reaching out can feel like a BIG step — I aim to make that first contact simple, and will respond within 48 hours.
A Safe Space
I offer a supportive and non-judgemental space where you can express yourself and explore at your own pace.
Assessment is an ongoing part of music therapy, allowing each session to be responsive to your needs and goals. Sessions may vary in approach — some may focus on relaxation and reflection, while others may be more active and engaging.
Therapy is guided by you. Your needs, comfort, and readiness are always respected, and there is no pressure to explore areas before you feel ready. Personalised care means adapting each session to what is most helpful for you in the moment, while gently supporting growth over time.
In-person and Virtual
Music therapy is flexible and designed to fit around your life. As a mobile service, sessions can take place in your home, school, early learning setting, or other agreed location.
Initial sessions are typically conducted in person to support assessment and connection. Ongoing sessions may be offered either in person or via telehealth, depending on your needs and preferences.
If having someone in your space feels like too much on a particular day, that’s completely okay — virtual sessions provide a supportive alternative that allows you to continue therapy in a way that feels manageable.
