About Justine Meehan
Justine is a registered psychologist in Melbourne who offers a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to counselling and EMDR therapy. She works collaboratively with adolescents, adults, and parents, creating a safe and respectful space where people can heal, grow, and reconnect with their inner strengths at their own pace.
Finding the right psychologist is an important part of the therapeutic process. That’s why I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute phone consultation where you can ask questions, discuss your needs, and determine whether I may be the right fit for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Starting therapy can bring up many questions – these answers are here to help you feel informed, supported, and at ease as you consider taking the next step.
Do I need a referral to see a psychologist?
You don’t need a referral to book an appointment. If you would like to access Medicare rebates, you’ll need a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP. You’re welcome to begin therapy at any time, with or without a referral.
Who do you work with?
I work with adolescents, adults, and parents/carers. I support people navigating a range of challenges, including trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, and life transitions. I offer a respectful, inclusive, and neuro-affirming space for people of all backgrounds and identities.
What can I expect in the first session?
Your first session is a gentle starting point. We’ll focus on what’s been happening in your life and what has brought you to therapy, at a pace that feels safe for you. There’s no expectation to share everything straight away — we work collaboratively to build understanding, trust, and a sense of safety.
What is your approach to therapy?
My approach is trauma-informed, client-centred, and strengths-based. Together, we look beyond diagnoses to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, including how past experiences have shaped your wellbeing. Therapy is a collaborative process, grounded in respect for your lived experience and inner strengths.
What types of therapy do you use?
I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, person-centred therapy, trauma-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), strengths-based therapy, and psychoeducation. The approach we use is tailored to your needs, goals, and readiness.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. I offer in-person sessions on Wednesdays at Wheelers Hill, and online (telehealth) sessions on Fridays. Online therapy provides flexible access to support and can be just as effective as in-person sessions for many people.
