Hi, I'm Meg, a counsellor, psychotherapist and meditation teacher based in Melbourne
I work with individuals navigating some of the more challenging experiences life can bring, from relationship difficulties, anxiety and major life transitions to heartbreak, loss and patterns that seem to keep repeating. I also work with people who want to understand themselves better, develop greater self-compassion and build more meaningful connections with others.
I believe that many of our struggles make sense when we take the time to understand the experiences that have shaped us. Rather than judging ourselves for the patterns we fall into, we can learn to approach them with curiosity and compassion. Together, we'll explore not only your thoughts and behaviours, but also the emotions, needs and experiences that sit beneath them.
My work is centred on understanding ourselves and our relationships, in all their complexity. Whether you're navigating a difficult relationship, finding your feet after a significant life change or simply wanting to feel more connected to yourself and the people around you, our work will be guided by what matters most to you.
Through my own experiences of grief and relationship loss, I've come to appreciate both the challenges and the beauty of being human. These experiences have shaped the way I see the world and inform how I work with others.
Above all, I hope to offer a space where you feel understood, where you can make sense of your experiences and where there's room to explore what a more fulfilling life might look like for you.
I'm often told that people feel at ease with me quickly, and I don't take that lightly. Creating a space where you feel genuinely safe, accepted, and understood isn't a bonus in my practice; it's the foundation on which everything else is built.
Our work is collaborative and paced to suit you. I'm not here to tell you what's wrong or hand you a formula to fix it. I'm here to sit with you as you begin to understand your patterns, make sense of your emotional experience, and gently explore what might be possible.
What it's like to work with me:
I see you as deeply human, whose responses make sense in the context of what you've lived through. Nothing you bring here will be too much.
This same approach runs through my guided meditations and courses on Insight Timer and Kic, which have been practised by over five million people worldwide.
Mindfulness and self-compassion sit at the heart of everything I do, in my meditations and in my counselling work.
Therapeutic Approach
My primary therapeutic approach is humanistic, meaning I place our relationship at the centre of the work and see you as the expert in your own experience.
Our work is collaborative, compassionate, and paced to support meaningful change over time.
Alongside a humanistic foundation, I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy and mindfulness to support both deep emotional understanding and practical, values-aligned change.
