Peta Meyerink - Registered Psychologist

I am a registered psychologist with a special interest in perinatal mental health and child and adolescent wellbeing. I provide support for individuals and families navigating pregnancy, early parenthood, and the emotional challenges of raising children.

I have a particular passion for working with new and expectant mothers experiencing anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, birth-related stress, or difficulty adjusting to parenthood. I also support children and adolescents experiencing emotional, behavioural, or anxiety-related difficulties, working closely with parents to strengthen connection and understanding within the family.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental, with a focus on helping clients feel safe, understood, and supported. Together, we work to make sense of emotions, build coping strategies, and strengthen confidence in managing life’s challenges.

I draw on evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), as well as play-based and attachment-informed approaches when working with children and families.

I am also a certified Bringing Up Great Kids (BUGK) facilitator, and I use an attachment-focused lens to support parents in strengthening their relationship with their child and responding to emotional needs with confidence.
