Apeksha Bhutada

Apeksha Bhutada AThR DMT Creative Arts Therapist | Dance Movement Therapist Apeksha is a Creative Arts Therapist and Dance Movement Therapist trained at the University of Melbourne, with a background in psychology and experience working across diverse mental health and community settings in India and Australia. Her therapeutic practice integrates Dance Movement Therapy, creative arts processes, and verbal psychotherapy to support emotional expression, self-awareness, and psychological wellbeing. Apeksha works from a trauma-informed, person-centred, and strengths-based framework, recognising the body as an important site where emotions, experiences, and relational patterns are held and communicated. In her work with clients, she creates a safe and attuned therapeutic space where movement, creative expression, and dialogue can be used to explore emotions, regulate the nervous system, and build deeper self-understanding. Her approach is particularly supportive for individuals who may find it difficult to articulate their experiences through words alone. Apeksha has experience facilitating both individual and group therapy with children, adolescents, adults, neurodivergent individuals, and people navigating stress, emotional regulation challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions. Her population of interest includes neurotypical and neurodivergent adults and older adults.
