Alex Morse

Director & Registered Music Therapist

Alex Morse is a Registered Music Therapist and the founder of Creative Therapies Tasmania. With nearly twenty years of experience in clinical practice, community health, and education, she has built her career around one idea, that creativity helps people connect, communicate, and feel understood. Her work spans children, adolescents, and adults living with disability, dementia, or mental health challenges, and across every setting she combines clinical expertise with warmth and curiosity to help people express themselves in ways that feel natural and meaningful.

Approach to Therapy

Alex’s approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and guided by respect for each person’s individuality. She often works collaboratively with families, carers, and allied health professionals to create sessions that support communication, regulation, and emotional wellbeing.

Her work extends beyond the therapy room, into community choirs, workshops, and outreach programs designed to make creative therapy accessible to more Tasmanians.

Alex’s leadership style is reflective and practical, ensuring every program at Creative Therapies Tasmania remains person-centred and responsive to real community needs.

Projects & Achievements

Alex’s contribution to the community reaches well beyond clinical work. She founded Creative Therapies Tasmania, the state’s first dedicated creative therapies studio and established the Exhale Community Choir, a space for people to connect through song.

She has presented at national conferences, written music projects including Little Tassie Devils and Lullaby Circle, and collaborated on programs that bridge creativity and early childhood education.

Her advocacy for music therapy has been recognised at state and national levels, including a nomination for the Relationships Australia LiFE Award in 2024 and acknowledgment in Australian Parliament for her work supporting NDIS participants.
