Nurturing your child's journey
Fill out enquiry form
When you have a moment, complete the enquiry form and I will be in touch within 48 business hours to chat about your child and discuss availability.
Initial Connection
We will have a quick phone or email check in to make sure music therapy feels like the right fit for your child and answer any questions you may have.
Service Agreement
Once we confirm a time and location, your session will be reserved. You will receive a Service Agreement; which is a standard document outlining session details, fees, and how we will work together.
First Session (60 Minutes)
Our first session focuses on building a connection with your child and understanding their strengths and interests.
Ongoing Sessions
Sessions continue on a regular basis, creating a safe and supportive space for your child to grow, express themselves, and build skills over time.
Parent Collaboration
We will schedule a parent check in to share insights, reflect on progress, and collaboratively shape therapy goals in a way that honours your child.
As your child grows, we will continue to adapt sessions and goals to support their evolving needs and celebrate their progress.
What does a session look like?
Sessions are tailored to each persons interests, strengths and goals and may include singing, movement, games, instrumental play, relaxation, lyric exploration, playlist creation and music technology. Connection, regulation and felt safety are the foundations for every session.
How about the NDIS?
Yes Music Therapy IS covered by the NDIS.
I can work with Private Paying, Plan-Managed and Self-Managed clients. The fee is as per the current NDIS price guide. Music therapy can support your NDIS plan goals and there is significant research available that demonstrates this. More available here
Is it like music lessons?
Not quite. Music therapy focuses on therapeutic outcomes, over musical skills. We use music as a tool for growth. Learning an instrument in the session can occur when it contributes to one of your emotional, social, communication or cognitive goals. See Australian Music Therapy Association for resources and evidence.

Do I need to be musical?
No! Although I do believe we are all creative and musical beings, you will never have to do something you are uncomfortable with! Whether you have lots, little or no musical experience, you can benefit from music therapy!
Music Therapy can be good for your child if they...
• find regulation challenging
• communicate in non speaking ways
• benefit from predictable routines but also need flexibility
• enjoy music, rhythm or sensory play
• find it hard to engage in traditional therapy settings
• are building confidence, social connection or self expression
Can parents sit in?
Absolutely. You are welcome to stay, step out, or pop in and out. You know your child best, and we can do whatever helps them feel safe and supported. You may also like to observe and practice strategies to integrate at home.
