I’m Tegan McGie — a holistic sexologist, online therapist & couples counsellor supporting individuals & couples across Melbourne & Australia via Telehealth. I offer trauma-informed sex therapy, couples counselling & nervous-system informed relational support in an inclusive, compassionate space.
I work with people of all ages, backgrounds & identities to explore sexuality, relationships & sense of self with greater clarity, safety & self-trust.
I believe our power comes from the same source as our pain. Even within our most challenging experiences, there is wisdom waiting to be uncovered. My role is to help you access that wisdom — gently, respectfully & at a pace that feels sustainable.
My approach integrates mind, body & relationship dynamics. A key part of our work involves understanding your nervous system, so you can build safety in your body, deepen emotional awareness & shift long-standing patterns with insight rather than overwhelm.
Whether you are navigating conflict, rebuilding intimacy, healing from trauma or reconnecting with yourself, our work is tailored to your unique needs & lived experience.
As a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) & the Society of Australian Sexologists (SAS), I am recognised by private health insurance providers, with rebates available through Medibank, HCF, AHM, Bupa & ARHG.
My mission is to support you in cultivating self-acceptance, meaningful connection & embodied pleasure. At the heart of my work is a simple philosophy: embrace yourself & explore your sexuality, so you can discover your deepest wisdom & pleasure.
Let’s work together to honour your story & create relationships, with yourself & others, that feel authentic, connected & fulfilling.
Finding your Greatest Wisdom & deepest pleasure through embracing Yourself & exploring Your Sexuality
Testimonials
“Hi Tegan, Gosh, it’s been so long since Greg & I last saw you, but I wanted to share some happy news. We got married at the end of last year, & honestly, it wouldn’t have happened without the support you gave us during our rough patch a few years ago. We’re so grateful for the role you played in helping us find our way back to each other, & we wanted to say thank you. We’ve attached a few photos to share our appreciation & this special milestone with you. ”
“Tegan, I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for us, you have been warm, professional, kind & helped us through some of the hardest times we’ve ever faced. You are a truly wonderful therapist & a great support system.”
“I wanted to officially say thank you. In the appointments I attended with you I can very honestly say that I am a much happier, confident, self aware & informed person as a result of them. Thank you so much for being such an excellent listener & for making topics that first appeared intimidating & scary turn out to be light, fun & exciting to learn about. As they should be. You are fantastic at your job & I hope that you & your business are doing as well as you can throughout these tough times. Good luck for the future & thank you again. ”
“We would totally recommend Tegan’s counselling & sexology services. She has really helped us get our relationship & our sex life back on track so that we now enjoy each other’s company, friendship & intimacy. I was very reluctant at first, I have to say. We’d had some couples’ counselling a few years back and it was awful. We weren’t getting on so well… my partner always wanted more sex, I always felt under pressure, post-menopausal & not really interested in sex, we niggled at each other all the time & nothing about our relationship felt safe. Completely frustrated, my partner organised a visit to Tegan. She saw us individually to start with to get to know each of us & our individual issues, & then we went along as a couple. Tegan is very easy to talk to… we felt very comfortable & found ourselves talking about issues we’d never been able to articulate before. She helped us to develop a language to use with each other & gave us activities to help rediscover intimacy & sex on our own terms, in our own way. Tegan was very non-judgemental & supportive – she is so good at what she does! Now we are much (much) happier within ourselves & with each other, & we’ve tried all sorts of sexy things that we wouldn’t have dreamt of doing a few months back.
Thanks Tegan!”
“I had the opportunity to work with Tegan over a 12 month period. She helped me work through some very big relationship issues in my long term marriage. Her support & insights were very helpful. Tegan is a kind, caring & very empathetic counsellor. She really cares about her clients & the support she provides is exceptional. I highly recommend working with her.”
