Meet Megan
Hi, My name is Megan and I am a registered Psychologist and board approved supervisor with over 9 years of experience supporting people of all ages.
I am passionate about the benefits of therapy and feel so honoured that I am able to work along side you on your journey. Everyone is an expert on themselves, and it is my role to support people to be whoever they want to be. I enjoy working with complexities and feel so privileged to be able to sit with people when they are having a hard time. I aim to be neuro-affirming, LGBTQIA+ inclusive and culturally sensitive.
In my free time, I love to read, walk my dog, hang out with my bird and family. While I love yoga, I find it hard to fit into my schedule (I get it we're all busy). I also love plants and being out in nature, I know what a surprise!
Professional Experience
I have worked with many different presentations, across a few different workplaces. I am based in the Illawarra and have had various roles supported children, adolescents, adults and families. Both with individual and groups. I have extensive expereince using telehealth (video or phone counselling) as a means of supporting people. I aim to collaboratively work together to determine what will be the best way of working together.
I have been a board-approved supervisor since early 2020 and can provide supervision to Provisional Psychologists (primary for the 4+2 and 5+1 programs or secondary for the registrar program), psychologists and any other mental health professionals. As a supervisor, my aim is to support you with reflective practice and case reflections. I am passionate about therapists having the ability to recognise their impact in the therapy room and how we can work with what naturally comes up in that space.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
