Music Therapy

Michelle is a Registered Music Therapist with the Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA). She graduated with a Master of Music Therapy from the University of Melbourne. Michelle's music therapy experiences span across various fields including early childhood development, special schools, adult disability centres, aged care facilities, the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne and Westmead Children's Hospital.

Combining her experiences and university training, Michelle integrates a holistic, family centred and evidence-based approach in her work. Her sessions are tailored to each individual’s needs with a focus on self-expression, emotional validation and relatedness to others through music.

Michelle is empathetic and approachable with a passion for working with children and families, particularly in providing support to improve a child’s developmental outcomes through early intervention. She also enjoys working with adolescents – empowering young people to share their stories through the creative use of music and equipping individuals with resources to understand and improve their mental health.

Michelle is also fluent in Mandarin and is happy to deliver therapy in a bilingual mode.
