About Newcastle Music and Art Therapy

Newcastle Music & Art Therapy is the largest provider of Music Therapy and Art Therapy in the Hunter Region.

We are a team of nine Music Therapists and Art Therapists who offer a range of Music Therapy and Art Therapy services. We have a beautiful, purpose-built creative arts centre in Warners Bay with spaces full of musical instruments, art materials and multisensory mediums to engage people of ALL ages.

We have an experienced leadership team who provides clinical supervision and support to all staff. In fact, between Susan, our practice owner, and Katishe, our practice manager, we have over forty years experience. So you know you are in safe and competent hands.

We have seen and heard many stories, and understand how complex life can be. Experience has taught us that we don’t know everything, and we greatly value your lived experience. We are here to walk beside you.
