ONLINE MUSIC THERAPY 

Sarah Punch has over 11 years experience working with clients of all ages and abilities from birth, to adulthood, to end stage life. Delivering sessions online is a new service option that has been launched due to the current pandemic. We are thrilled to announce this will continue to be offered well beyond COVID-19 due to the overwhelmingly positive response we've had from new and existing clients! 

We foresee this will continue to enable rural and remote families to access Music Therapy where they otherwise wouldn't be able to. Additionally, we are excited to now be able to see clients residing outside our service area, including other cities, who have been disappointed to not access our service in the past.  
 
Telehealth may also be appropriate for the following reasons:

• clients who are immune suppressed or admitted for inpatient treatment preventing face-to-face contact
• clients who are traveling and unable to attend face-to-face sessions
• clients who find face-to-face sessions overwhelming and are more comfortable engaging virtually
• clients living in an area they are unable to find a music therapist 

Evidence supporting the delivery of music therapy online is growing with some researchers suggesting it may be just as effective as face-to-face sessions. This has certainly been our experience- even more effective in some cases. We are successfully running online sessions with clients aged 2 to 94! They reside in and around Australia and even overseas. These clients have a range of diagnoses and have impressed us with their response and engagement via Telehealth.

​The video shown above is clever little Luka's first session. He has a vision impairment (CVI) and developmental delay, and impressed us all with his transition from face-to-face to online music therapy. Telehealth is not a suitable option for everyone though. To discuss whether it's right for you or to find out more, please contact us.
