Tegan McKay founded The Mindful Hub with a simple belief: everyone deserves access to quality psychological support, regardless of where they live. Growing up in regional Gippsland inspired her commitment to making evidence-informed mental health care more accessible through both online and in-person services.

Tegan works with children, teens and adults and is known for her warm, down-to-earth and collaborative approach. She believes therapy shouldn't feel intimidating or filled with jargon. Instead, it should be a space where people feel comfortable asking questions, making sense of their experiences and developing a deeper understanding of themselves.

She is endlessly curious about people and the many ways we think, feel and experience the world. One of her favourite parts of therapy is helping people understand the 'why' behind their experiences, because insight can create opportunities for meaningful and lasting change.

While Tegan enjoys working across the lifespan, she has a particular passion for supporting women through life's transitions. This might include navigating parenthood, relationships, career changes, shifting roles and identity, or reaching a point where life looks different to what it once did. Her work is also shaped by a strong interest in neurodivergence and neuroaffirming practice, supporting people to better understand their own way of experiencing the world and find strategies that genuinely fit.

Tegan brings extensive experience working therapeutically with children and within primary school settings. She values approaches that look beyond behaviour to understand what might be happening underneath, while recognising each child's individual strengths, needs and way of experiencing their world.

Her experience spans public and private mental health, community settings and the corrections sector. Tegan is also passionate about supporting provisional and early career psychologists through supervision, placements and internships. She particularly enjoys helping emerging psychologists build clinical confidence, strengthen their professional identity and develop a therapeutic style that feels authentic to them.

Beyond the therapy room, Tegan works with schools, workplaces and organisations to deliver wellbeing workshops, professional development and mental health education.

Above all, Tegan believes people are the experts in their own lives. Her role is to listen with curiosity, share psychological knowledge in a way that makes sense and help people better understand themselves. Because when we approach ourselves with curiosity rather than judgement, meaningful change becomes more possible.
