Life throws us all kinds of challenges. Career, relationship, parenting and social stressors can be difficult to juggle, and it can be hard to sit with the emotional and physical signs of stress when things feel just too much. At The Curious Psych, we believe that we all have the capacity to create a balanced and mentally healthy life.
We know that self-compassion, authenticity, meaningful connection and a curious mindset are key ingredients to creating the life we want. Sometimes we just need a little guidance. If you're visiting this site, then you're working on it.

Hi, My name is Marg, and I'm a Clinical Psychologist based in Chelsea Heights, Melbourne. I support adults affected by a scope of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and low self-worth.
I began my career working with people across the lifespan in country Victoria, before suporting adults affected by severe mental illness in the public hospital system. Through my experiences working in public and private settings, I became passionate about helping people to understand the stories their minds believe. Stories about their sense of safety, security, worth, control and belonging that underly emotional distress and disturbance.
In 2024, I mustered up some courage to create The Curious Psych, a passion project that aims to support adults to live confident and courageous lives in self-compassionate ways.
'Whenever I notice something about myself I don't like, or whenever something goes wrong in my life, I silently repeat the following phrases: This is a moment of suffering. Suffering is part of life. May I be kind to myself in this moment. May I give myself the compassion I need'
- Dr. Kristin Neff, Self-compassion researcher
