Music Therapy
Our approach
Our music therapist Bree is a neurodivergent person with lived experience of mental ill-health. That is not a disclaimer, it is the foundation of how she works. Bree understands the gap between clinical training and what it actually feels like to be the person in the room, and she brings both sides to every session.
Her practice is neuro-affirming and strengths-based. Sessions are shaped by the person in front of her. Their interests, their energy, and what they bring into the room on any given day. That is not a lack of structure, it is the structure. There is no right way to show up for music therapy. Bree works to understand what is genuinely useful for each person and builds from there.
Who is music therapy for?
You do not need to play an instrument. You do not need to have a favourite song or any particular relationship with music at all.
Music therapy is not a lesson. It is a different way into the things that matter: connection, expression, regulation, meaning. Sessions are available for children, adolescents, and adults. You engage at whatever level makes sense for you.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed to book with Bree.
What funding can I use?
Music therapy is not covered by Medicare.
NDIS funding is available for self-managed and plan-managed participants.
Private health insurers may cover music therapy under extras, so it is worth checking your policy.
Private pay is always an option.
What if I am not musical?
Most people who come to music therapy do not consider themselves musical, and that is fine. Music therapy is not about skill, performance, or talent. It uses music as a way to reach things that can be hard to access through words alone: emotion, memory, self-expression, connection. No prior musical experience is needed or expected.
What can music therapy help with?
Music therapy can support emotional regulation, help process difficult experiences, and build a sense of agency and self-expression. It is used with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges, as well as with neurodivergent people who find creative or non-verbal approaches more accessible than traditional talk therapy.
