Meet Anneliis Way
Music Therapist Adelaide
The minute I heard the words ‘music therapy’, I knew this was the job for me.
I completed a Bachelor of Music Therapy at Melbourne University in 2005 and have been a practising registered music therapist for the past 17 years. I have provided music therapy in a range of settings including early intervention, special education, adult disability, stroke rehabilitation, cancer care, progressive neurology, community choirs, aged care and palliative care.
In addition to my clinical music therapy work, I have taught sessionally in the Master’s of Music Therapy program at Melbourne University, provided clinical supervision, been involved in music therapy research projects and have held senior and allied health managerial roles in a range of health care services. Led by a strong interest in wellbeing and human potential, I went on to complete a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology in 2017.
I believe that music makes life better and am committed to bringing the benefits of music to everyone I work with. My approach to therapy is individualised, flexible and strengths based.
In 2022 I relocated from Melbourne to Adelaide and founded Music Therapy Adelaide. I absolutely love Adelaide and have settled very happily on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
