Megan Garth

I am a Clinical Psychologist who provides support for infants, children, youth, parents, and perinatal clients.

I have over 10 years experience in the psychology field. I have worked in Senior Psychologist roles within community and government sectors. I have particular experience working with a wide range of child and youth mental health issues, parents and caregivers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, and autistic children. I am passionate about helping young people optimise their wellbeing, nurturing parent-child relationships, and supporting parents (particularly during the special yet challenging perinatal period).

My approach is warm, compassionate and thoughtful. I know how challenging it can be attending therapy, especially if it is your first time. I am dedicated to providing a safe space where you feel truly understood.

I use evidence-based psychological therapies including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-informed therapies, and mindfulness-based interventions. I am trained in several parenting programs such as Circle of Security (COS), Triple P, and Parents Under Pressure. Within the infant and perinatal mental health space, I have completed intensive training using a relationship-based approach to perinatal mood issues. Beyond the therapy chair, I am an AHPRA accredited supervisor for Psychologists, offering supervision across all Psychology training pathways. I love providing training workshops to professionals across allied health, medical, and education settings.

Apart from being a Clinical Psychologist, I juggle many other roles including small business owner, mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunty and friend. I have two young children (a daughter who is 3.5 years old and a son who is 9 months old). I also have a gorgeous and very cheeky pug. Outside of my psychology work, you’ll probably find me rocking a “mum bun” and running after my two very active little ones! I love spending time in nature, enjoying a much-needed coffee, travelling, cooking up a storm, and doing art/craft projects (which I may or may not get finished!).
