THERAPY, CLINICAL SUPERVISION

Priscilla Pek is a Melbourne-based Registered Music Therapist working on the lands of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung peoples and across Australia, supporting children, adolescents, and adults in healthcare and community settings.

She has extensive experience in paediatrics, and youth mental health, helping individuals explore emotions and identity, develop coping strategies, and strengthen wellbeing, confidence, and sense of self through music.

Priscilla has more than 13 years of clinical experience and has contributed to the training and supervision of music therapists and music therapy students. She continues to tutor at the University of Melbourne while supporting clinicians and clients through her work at Concordia Music Therapy.

Supporting Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing

Priscilla’s clinical work focuses on helping individuals use music to support emotional regulation, mood support, and self-expression.

Her favourite music therapy interventions to use with clients include songwriting, therapeutic instrumental lessons, improvisation, song sharing, music listening, or lyric analysis that help individuals process emotions and develop greater self-awareness.

Her expertise includes supporting:

• Teenagers navigating emotional, relationship, and developmental changes

• Young people and adolescents exploring identity and self-expression

• Individuals with psycho-social disabilities, including participants supported through the NDIS

• Individuals experiencing mental health challenges, including eating disorders.

She is passionate about supporting individuals from LGBTQIA+ and culturally diverse communities.

Priscilla has seen how through music therapy, individuals can re-connect with their voice and musical identity, develop communication skills, emotional resilience, and a deeper connection to themselves and others.

She also contributes to the broader clinical supervision and training for music therapists, helping guide early career therapists in developing reflective and ethical clinical practice.

Inclusive and Person-Centered Practice

Priscilla is passionate about creating safe and inclusive therapeutic spaces where individuals feel seen and supported.

Her work includes supporting individuals from:

• Culturally diverse communities

• Linguistically diverse communities

• LGBTQIA+ and queer communities

Music therapy provides a flexible and expressive approach that allows individuals to explore identity, relationships, and emotional experiences in ways that feel authentic and meaningful.

Philosophy

Priscilla is inspired by the idea that harmony begins within ourselves, and this informed the decision behind the business name, as ‘Concordia’ was the “goddess of harmony or peace”.

She believes that when individuals learn to connect with their authentic selves, they can develop greater balance, wellbeing, and connection with others. Music therapy provides a powerful pathway for that process, offering a space where emotions, stories, and identity can be explored through sound and creativity.

She is a Swiftie who is thoroughly enjoyed The Life of a Showgirl. She no longer uses Spotify but when she did, Spotify Wrapped 2024 reported that she listened to 108 different genres. She is currently one of those pickleball addicts, and plays 2-3x a week.
