Addiction Psychologists and Therapists in Australian Capital Territory
You may look like you are coping, while inside you feel tense, tired or disconnected. Many men I work with are holding everything together while quietly losing touch with themselves. I offer calm, practical counselling, sex therapy and clinical hypnotherapy for anxiety, trauma, sexual confidence, intimacy and life transitions. My body-aware approach helps the nervous system feel safer and steadier. With 20 years’ experience, including recent international speaking in New Zealand on men, emotion and agency, I welcome clients in Launceston and online across Australia. Reaching out can become the first steady step back toward yourself.

I support teens and adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, grief, stress, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions.

I provide counselling nationwide for adults experiencing mental health challenges, anxiety/stress, relationship conflict, job/career dissatisfaction, life transitions, loss/grief, and addictions.
Together in counselling, we’ll explore what’s negatively impacting you and develop strategies that help you feel calmer, happier, and more in control. Whether you’re looking for short‑term support with a current challenge or longer‑term therapy to shift deeper patterns, I tailor sessions around your goals and what matters most in your life.

Many of the people I work with appear capable and functional, yet may privately feel stuck, lost, or unsure of who they are becoming. You may find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships, being the rescuer, carrying the responsibility for everyone else or feeling frustrated that your own needs remain unclear and unmet.
You may struggle with ADHD symptoms, confusing feelings, self-doubt, or a quiet sense that life is not unfolding in the way you hoped it would.
I work primarily with people feeling strain in relationships, identity conflict, cultural or faith expectations, and questions about meaning and direction.

Hi! I'm Meg, and I'm a proudly neurodivergent (Autistic and ADHD) member of the LGBTQIA+ community who discovered my neurotype later in life – an experience that fundamentally changed how I understand both myself and the field of psychology. Like many late-diagnosed neurodivergent folks, I spent years wondering why things that seemed easy for others felt impossibly hard for me, and why I had to work so much harder. My own journey through mental health challenges, chronic illness,
being misdiagnosed and wrongly medicated, along with late diagnosis has given me a deep, personal understanding of what my clients need.

As a neuroaffirming clinician I take a client centred and strengths approach, respecting your unique neurotype and what works best for you! What might we talk about in therapy? Almost anything! Perhaps it's stress, anxiety or depression, your neurodivergent identity (Autism/ADHD) the assessment process, (I can provide pre and post diagnosis support) or the executive functions of the brain. Or maybe its parent support (raising neurodivergent children), strategies for time management or procrastination...the list goes on! I am also excited to advise that I am now taking expressions of interest for online group therapy for ADHDers.

I work with adults navigating grief, life transitions and chronic disorganisation, including ADHD-related executive functioning difficulties, overwhelm, clutter or hoarding behaviours. These experiences often overlap. Loss and significant change can disrupt concentration, routines and everyday life, while longstanding organisational difficulties may become harder to manage during grief or transition. Over time, this can affect confidence, relationships and your sense of yourself.

There is nothing that unites us more than the human experience, yet the stigma around mental health still impacts us. I see the common threads that connect us every day, even when we think we’re alone. We are relational beings, and shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces. If 1:1 therapy scares you or feels too traditional and formal, I completely understand. I love working with people, and know it’s a privilege to hear stories of all kinds and be with people in their vulnerability. I’m committed to showing up in the present moment with you, and figuring it out together. Real life, done with a real person alongside you.

Life can sometimes feel confusing or out of sync — whether you’re facing anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, or simply feeling uncertain about what’s next. Therapy can be a space for curiosity and growth: a chance to better understand yourself, deepen emotional intelligence, or live with greater authenticity and connection. Whatever brings you here, therapy offers a supportive space to pause, reflect, and move toward clarity, ease and flourishing.
