For the past 10 years, Meg has worked across a range of clinical settings, supporting both youth and adult populations. Her journey as a Mental Health Social Worker began in a secure psychiatric facility, where she was part of a multidisciplinary team providing psycho-social assessment and intervention for adults placed on involuntary treatment and forensic orders. Building on this experience, she transitioned into direct support work with adults experiencing severe and complex mental illness, assisting those receiving government support to live independently in the community.

​

This chapter of her career offered profound insight into the lives of some of society’s most vulnerable individuals, as well as the complexities of the Queensland mental health system and its legislative framework. Through this work, Meg recognised the critical importance of early intervention and ensuring that young people and families have access to quality mental health support when they need it most. Motivated to be part of the solution, she joined headspace National Youth Mental Health Foundation in 2014, where she spent five years supporting young people (12–25 years) and their families. She helped them navigate the four core areas of headspace services: mental health care, general health services, alcohol and drug counselling, and vocational support. Her role involved conducting biopsychosocial assessments, providing brief interventions, facilitating group work, consulting with families, and actively case managing clients.

​

With a strong interest in systemic practice, Meg sought to broaden her impact and skillset by taking on a role in a federally funded initiative within the education sector. This program aimed to increase mental health literacy and equip educators with best-practice strategies for supporting student well-being. Most recently, she provided brief therapeutic well-being support to school leaders while offering consultation on crisis intervention and response strategies.

​

Meg has a particular passion for relationship-focused therapy, working with both individuals and couples to help them understand how they engage in relationships and develop the fundamental skills needed to build stronger, more fulfilling connections. In addition to her work in private practice, Meg provides therapy for individuals and couples through Open Arms and the Queensland Police Service (QPS). She supports veterans, first responders, and their families in navigating the unique challenges of high-pressure roles, trauma exposure, and relationship stress, helping them build resilience, process experiences, and strengthen their connections.

​

Research consistently shows that evidence-based strategies can lead to healthier and happier relationships—yet these tools often remain inaccessible without the right guidance and support. Meg is committed to helping her clients access and implement these strategies to enhance their personal and relational well-being.

 

At the core of her practice, Meg aims to co-facilitate personal growth, guiding clients toward a life that is more aligned with their values and goals. She takes a strengths-based, feedback-informed approach, ensuring that therapy is tailored, effective, and empowering.
