At the heart of Tegan Mallett Psychology is the belief that growth takes time, care, and the right conditions. Just like trees, we grow stronger when we’re supported — even through the changing seasons.

Individual Therapy

Tegan’s individual Psychology sessions offer a space to pause, reflect, and nurture new ways of being. No matter if you’re weathering a storm, pruning what no longer serves you, or ready to grow in a new direction, I’ll flow alongside you to support your natural process of change and resilience.

Tegan’s work is grounded in a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Schema Informed Therapy. This is intertwined with a trauma- informed, attachment-focused and strengths-based perspective, as well as drawing from years of personal and professional experience. A a scientist-practitioner model, where research meets human connection.

Tegan provides support for a wide range of concerns for those over 16 years of age, including:

• Stress, burnout, and difficulties with motivation or focus

• Low mood, depression, and emotional overwhelm

• Obsessive or compulsive thoughts and behaviours

Supervision

Tegan also offers Clinical Psychology and Professional Supervision. Like tending to a plant, your professional development needs space, support, and nourishment to thrive. Tegan’s Supervision offers a grounded place to reflect, learn, and strengthen your practice—whether you’re planting new roots as a provisional psychologist or branching out as an experienced clinician. Together, we’ll cultivate growth that’s steady, supported, and sustainable.

Growing out of years of experience as a Psychologist, Tegan’s supervision approach allows space to explore both the practical and personal aspects of professional growth. She draws on the Reflective Practice Model, Proctor’s Three-Function Model, and Hawkins and Seven-Eyed Model, to provide a balance of structure, reflection, and relational depth. Through our work together, we’ll nurture confidence, clarity, and resilience as you grow in your professional role — whether you’re establishing your foundations, expanding your skills, or seeking ongoing nourishment in your practice.
