Hello, I’m Dr Megha Rupa
I’m a Clinical Psychologist with many years of experience working with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families. I believe all human beings can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives, and that a safe therapeutic relationship can allow us to be vulnerable, heal, and grow.
My approach is warm and inclusive. I am trained in a variety of theoretical orientations- psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, family systems, CBT, and expressive therapy (especially with children and adolescents). However, I prioritise attunement with each client over being wedded to a particular orientation.
I am committed to providing therapy that is culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and affirming of all identities and experiences. I invest in ongoing supervision and consultation, dedicating time to self-reflection to remain open and curious to what I don’t yet know. This process supports my own growth, so I can show up authentically and help clients feel truly understood.
Areas I Work With
I work with clients experiencing many different challenges, including but not limited to:
• Anxiety, stress, and panic
• Depression and mood difficulties
• Trauma, abuse, and adjustment challenges
• Grief and loss
• Relationship and family difficulties, including couple therapy
• Self-esteem and identity issues
• Child and adolescent concerns (behavioural difficulties, emotional regulation, school stress, academic pressure, giftedness)
• Obsessive-compulsive behaviours and phobias
• Eating and body-image concerns
• Sleep problems
• Work stress, burnout, and psychosocial hazards
In addition to my clinical work, my PhD research focused on parent-child interactions and the development of interactive training tools for families. This academic foundation supports my practice by helping me integrate evidence-based approaches into therapy in a practical and supportive way.
I provide face-to-face appointments at our East Melbourne clinic, as well as online consultations via telehealth, making it easy to connect no matter where you are in Australia.
Whether you’re going through a difficult time or want to deepen your self-awareness and emotional resilience, I would be glad to work with you.
If you have a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, Medicare may subsidise up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
