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.
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.
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.
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.
