Meet Meher

Meher has over five years’ experience supporting individuals across mental health and allied health settings, including in community mental health, the NDIS, schools and hospital inpatient units. Working across the lifespan, she has supported people experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties and body image concerns.

Meher is particularly passionate about reducing the stigma around OCD, as well as perinatal mental health. She also enjoys helping young people better understand themselves as they navigate the world around them, and values working with parents to build strong, trusting connections with their teens and feel confident in supporting their mental health. Fluent in both English and Hindi, Meher provides culturally responsive therapy to people from diverse backgrounds, including members of the South Asian community.

Meher takes a warm and collaborative approach, creating a space where clients can make sense of their experiences and explore challenges at a pace that feels right for them. She believes therapy is not only for times of crisis but also a valuable opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth. Drawing on evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), she recognises that each person has unique life experiences, strengths and goals, and helps clients build practical skills to live meaningful, values-driven lives.

Outside the therapy room Meher enjoys working out, exploring new cities, making music, and spending time with loved ones. She is always on the lookout for new recipes to try.
