Hi, I'm Meg. I like to help people with the deeper currents in their life. The ones that are a little stubborn and won't budge through intellectual understanding alone. Sometimes these are threads to past experiences needing more attention, or ways we've adapted to social pressures where there's scope for us to respond more authentically. Using a somatic approach, I can help you connect with the felt sense of these experiences and adaptations. Through deeper emotional processing it becomes possible to make changes you've been hoping for.

I work with people who feel burnt out or quietly overwhelmed by the pressure to keep proving themselves.
Life can feel like a constant test of your abilities, creativity, and resilience. In work, study, relationships, or creative practice, you may be excelling on the outside but there’s a persistent exhaustion, self-doubt, or sense that you’re never doing enough. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, think deeply, and explore not just symptoms but the underlying pressures shaping your experience.

My approach draws on CAT and CBT, working a bit like detective work, mapping the pattern, tracing where it comes from, working out what's driving it. I'm a former tradie who had to get off the tools due to a disabillity. I am Online, Australia-wide, evenings and weekends. Mainly men, but anyone who's a good fit, including LGBTQIA+ clients, is welcome

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
