Each is a filtered view of the 14 listings — it counts, it never ranks.
A Fitzgerald Street studio that takes adults seriously as dancers rather than as an afterthought to the children's timetable — its own description is Perth's only studio teaching exclusively adults and mature-age students. Nineteen styles run across the week, from ballet and tap to flamenco, Bollywood, K-pop and heels, and the levels start at absolute beginner and go through to professional. Six-week BASICS courses run from $120.
A Balcatta studio running a six-day timetable across jazz, tap, classical ballet, lyrical and contemporary, hip hop, acrobatics and musical theatre. The adult classes are the notable part — the studio's own line is that it has lovely ladies still tapping in their eighties — and students of all ability levels including beginners are taken. Preschool classes start from eighteen months.
Paige McNaught works across an unusually wide set of materials — visual art, clay, sand play, photography, textiles, movement and music among them — from Fremantle and Perth, or online Australia-wide. A PACFA-registered counsellor and ANZACATA member with a psychotherapy degree behind the arts training. Individual sessions are published at $156.16 an hour, with NDIS creative counselling groups alongside.
Elisabeth Eitelberger practises as both a psychodynamic psychotherapist and a creative arts therapist in Walyalup/Fremantle, with a Vienna philosophy and theatre background behind a Murdoch creative arts therapies masters. Clinically registered with PACFA and ANZACATA. Sixty-minute sessions at $190, with concession and block rates, in person or online. Adults and couples.
A Perth centre offering art psychotherapy delivered by ANZACATA-registered professionals, in a practice where image-making becomes a first language for things that are hard to say out loud.
A Bayswater-based private music therapy practice run by registered music therapists, working with clients across ages and abilities in clinic and community settings.
Theva Indrasenan has run conscious dance in Perth since 2010 — Open Floor trained, with sessions from $25 Friday-night dances to weekend intensives and dawn 'Morning Medicine' beach dances. Venues cluster around Fremantle: North Fremantle Community Hall, Hilton PCYC, Bibra Lake and South Beach. No steps to learn; the floor is the practice.
Bridie Fitzgerald runs a private studio in the Perth foothills near Midland, registered with both AMTA (music therapy) and PACFA (counselling). Sessions span music therapy, counselling, early-intervention work with young children, and straight-up music lessons — voice, guitar, flute, piano and songwriting. NDIS registered for self and agency-managed participants.
A private music therapy practice working out of Victoria Hall on Fremantle's High Street, building personalised music therapy programs around each client rather than a set curriculum, with NDIS participants supported.
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.
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 to keep it accurate and add photos, offers and booking links. We never take a cut of bookings, and enquiries go straight to the practice.
