A Perth psychotherapy practice where art therapy and expressive therapy sit alongside talking work — including NDIS art therapy — for people who process better through making and movement than conversation alone.
Arts therapy and psychotherapy from rooms in Stirling, with a second location in West Perth. Sessions use drawing, painting, sculpting, collage, drama, dance and movement, individually or in groups, and are open to NDIS participants on plan-managed, self-managed or agency-managed plans as well as private clients. The arts therapist is registered with ANZACATA and also registered with PACFA as a psychodynamic psychotherapist.
A registered WA charity running community art wellbeing programs — studio sessions, workshops and art and somatic experiences facilitated by peer workers alongside art and somatic therapists. They're explicit that the work complements clinical care rather than replacing it, which says a lot about how they operate.

Most relevant means practices that specialise in this first, then the ones with the most reviews to go on. A listing that publishes its price, describes itself and names its services gets a small nudge, never more than a quarter of a star, because you can decide on it without ringing. Paid placements are shown once, in their own band, and never move anyone up the list.
The guide
No artistic ability is required or expected, and practitioners will tell you the same thing in the first five minutes. The work is in the doing, not the result, and nothing you make gets assessed.
Credentials are the useful thing to know here, because both main professions have one. Art therapists are registered with ANZACATA, the professional body for creative arts therapists across Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Music therapists hold the Registered Music Therapist credential through the Australian Music Therapy Association, and the letters RMT after a name mean specifically that. Dance movement therapy and broader expressive practice also sit under the ANZACATA umbrella.
Sessions run one-to-one or in small groups, typically an hour, in studios, community centres and sometimes in schools and aged care. A good deal of this work in Perth is funded through NDIS plans, so practices will usually tell you upfront whether they’re registered providers and how self-managed plans are invoiced.

We build the directory ourselves rather than taking paid submissions, so a practice appears because it exists and serves Perth — not because it paid. Practices can claim their listing for nothing and keep it accurate, photos included. Paid plans add booking links, offers and visitor stats. We never take a cut of bookings, and enquiries go straight to the practice.
