Megan Howie

Megan (she/her) is a Provisional Psychologist with more than 10 years’ experience as a counsellor working across community mental health, education and training settings. She provides evidence-based therapy for children, adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship challenges and life transitions.

Before becoming a psychologist, Megan worked extensively in Alice Springs, supporting Aboriginal communities. She also brings lived experience as a small business owner, giving her an understanding of the pressures associated with work, leadership and balancing competing demands.

Megan enjoys working collaboratively with clients to create meaningful and lasting change. Her therapeutic approach draws on a range of evidence-based therapies, including:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Motivational Interviewing (MI)
• Mindfulness-based approaches
• Behavioural interventions

Megan has completed additional training in ACT for trauma, anxiety and depression, as well as ACT for neurodivergence, and has a particular interest in helping clients develop psychological flexibility and build lives that align with their values.

Outside of work, Megan enjoys spending time with her family, swimming, bushwalking, travelling, cooking, reading, watching movies, and dancing in the kitchen whenever the opportunity arises.
