Therese Meallin

Over more than 20 years I have provided clinical psychological services to individuals and couples in private practice, community and public health settings. I am excited to now focus on offering psychological therapy within the Mums Matter program.

As a clinical psychologist I have experience in working with people of all ages and from diverse backgrounds. I aim to use my training and experience with a broad range of therapeutic approaches to finely tune and tailor therapy to meet the needs and goals of each person I work with. Working together to clarify what you would like to achieve from therapy I am then able to draw from therapies such as Schema, Cognitive Behavioural, Interpersonal, Narrative, Solution Focused, Acceptance and Commitment, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, and EMDR and apply these within the context of your perinatal journey.

I believe that the process of participating in therapy can help to find a new view on things, to explore and identify alternative ways of responding to events in our lives, and to develop new skills. With the new awareness this brings comes opportunities for renewal and recovery, and opens the way for greater choice in how we live our lives.

I work collaboratively with an emphasis on providing a professional, safe and supportive environment in which my clients can move towards the achievement of their goals.
