Sarah Punch (SENIOR RMT)

Hi, I’m Sarah, a Registered Music Therapist and founder of Music Therapy Wellness.

I hold a Master of Music Therapy from the University of Queensland and have worked in hospital and community settings including The Royal Children’s Hospital and Monash Health. My clinical experience spans adult and paediatric rehabilitation, brain injury, disability, mental health, and trauma-informed care.
I currently work with adults, children and teens across Australia, with a growing focus on adult rehabilitation and adjustment following injury, illness, trauma, and major life transitions. I support individuals navigating brain injury, psychosocial disability, chronic health conditions, anxiety, depression, grief, neurodivergence, and emotional regulation challenges.

My approach is warm, creative, neuroaffirming and person-centred, grounded in clinical understanding of nervous system regulation, identity rebuilding, and functional recovery. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and may include songwriting, vocal exploration, musical skill development, structured cognitive engagement, movement, listening, or guided relaxation.
Music therapy can support:

• Emotional regulation and stress management
• Cognitive engagement and attention
• Confidence and identity rebuilding
• Communication and self-expression
• Meaningful participation in daily life

I work collaboratively with families, support coordinators, case managers, and multidisciplinary teams where appropriate, providing goal-focused sessions and professional documentation when required.

I primarily offer online therapy across Australia, as it provides flexibility, comfort and accessibility, particularly for adults balancing rehabilitation, fatigue, mobility challenges, or regional living. Face-to-face sessions are also available in Brisbane when suitable.

Alongside my clinical work, I am a vocalist/performer and lifelong musician, and a proud mum to my little boy Theodore. Our sweet dog Millie occasionally makes a gentle appearance in Telehealth sessions. You don’t need to be musical to benefit from music therapy. If you can breathe, tap, listen, sing, play or speak, we can begin.
​
Whether supporting a child developing communication skills or an adult rebuilding confidence after injury, my goal is to create a therapeutic space where each person feels safe, capable, and supported to grow.
