Music Beat Therapy Services provides person-centred, neurodiversity affirming, and accessible therapy services to members of the community who are seeking music therapy.
The term ‘person-centred’ describes service and support that are centred on an individual and their strengths, needs, interests and goals.
Neurodiversity affirming therapy recognises and aims to work with neurological differences, affirming neuroprocessing and supporting authentic wellbeing.
Our Registered Music Therapists and Allied Health Therapy Assistants practice and maintain up to date knowledge, balancing research and valuable lived experience to inform best practice.
Our services are offered in our Clayfield clinic as well as in the home and community settings to ensure accessibility.
