I’m Megan Luscombe and I’m the service.

People leave conversations with me different.
The problem doesn't just get managed, it gets moved.

The service

Private, confidential advisory and strategy for the stuff you can't, or won't, bring anywhere else. The affair nobody knows about. The business decision that's kept you up for weeks. The relationship you can't quite name what's wrong with, but you know something is.

Here's what that actually looks like in practice. We sit with what's really going on, not the tidy version, the actual one. We work out what you're trying to get to. And then we build the strategy to get you there. That's it. No fluff, no waffle, no circling the same feelings fortnight after fortnight without ever moving.

The confidential bit isn't a nice extra. It's the whole reason any of this works. People don't say the real thing when there's a chance it'll leak, get repeated, or turn into gossip at someone's dinner party. So it doesn't.

Everything shared with me stays with me. A mutual, lawyer-drafted NDA is there for whenever you need one, legally binding, not just professional politeness or good vibes. Some conversations call for it from the very first hello. Others earn their way there naturally, once trust builds and the stakes get higher. Either way, the protection is real, and it's yours whenever you want it.

For a lot of people, that's the first time in their life something has actually been unshakeably safe.

Getting to be that for someone is honestly a privilege. Every single time.

What that looks like

Most clients have three to four private conversations with me per month. Via Zoom, phone, or in person, and we go deep. Not surface deep. The kind of deep most people never get to.

We map what's actually happening. Trace the pattern underneath it, because there's always a pattern. Then we work out what to do with what we find.

Nothing's off limits. The work moves fast. So do I.

Between those conversations, if something can't wait, you reach out. I'm not a booking link. I'm a person, and the people I work with know that access to me doesn't shut off the moment a session ends.

There's no agenda to follow, no workbook to complete, no homework to hand in. We work with what you actually bring, in real time, as it's actually happening.

Some months are intense. Some are quieter. I work on a retainer basis, six months minimum, so you're not booking in and hoping there's availability when something blows up or you need someone to bounce your thoughts off. The room is already there.

Most people arrive carrying something they've either never said out loud, or have said so many times it's stopped meaning anything. By the time we're done, it doesn't have the same grip on you anymore. That's usually when things start to move.

A lot of clients stay considerably longer than the minimum. Not because they have to. Because having this kind of space isn't something people give up easily, once they've had it.

What a retainer actually is

You're probably used to a different model. Book a session, use a session, book another when you need it. Or maybe you've worked with a psychologist through something like a Mental Health Care Plan, ten sessions, then you're reassessed.

I used to work that way too. I retired that model in 2026 when I realised it didn't suit the kind of client, or the kind of work, I actually wanted to be doing.

A retainer isn't a set number of sessions you use up and then reset. It's ongoing access to me, held specifically for you, for as long as you need it each month. Some months you'll use it heavily. Some months barely at all. Either way, the space is yours, it doesn't disappear if a quiet month goes by, and it's there the second something urgent lands.

Individual retainer $2,000 + GST per month
Couples retainer $4,400 + GST per month
Executive/Founder business retainer $6,500 + GST per month

Each of these reflects fourteen years of me working out exactly what people actually need, not too little, not padded out with things that don't serve you.

Should you ever need more than what's included, that's simply a conversation, never a surprise. Nothing extra happens without you knowing about it first.

For anything outside the scope of these retainers, additional time can be purchased separately.

My ideal clients

INDIVIDUALS

You've tried the conventional routes. Maybe therapy. Maybe a very expensive coach with a very tidy framework. Maybe just white-knuckling it alone because nothing else felt safe enough.

Something still isn't shifting.

Or what you're carrying is too private, too complicated, or too far outside the norm for anywhere that requires you to be a slightly more palatable version of yourself.

That's exactly where I work. And something, eventually, shifts.

COUPLES

Behind closed doors it's a completely different story - and you both know it.

I work with couples navigating everything from betrayal to relationship structures that most advisers wouldn't know what to do with. I'm not here to save your relationship or end it. I'm not here with an agenda about what it should look like on the other side.

I'm here to help you figure out what's actually true. Without judgment. Without a single word of it ever leaving the room.

Some couples come to repair something. Some come to finally be honest about what they actually want. Both are welcome here. So is everything in between.

This is relationship work. If you and your partner also run a business together, that's a different container - see ‘Business Owners & Executives’.

BUSINESS OWNERS & EXECUTIVES

Running something means performing certainty you don't always feel.

The decisions that keep you up at night - the ones about people, partnerships, money, and things that could quietly unravel everything - those can't be discussed inside the business. They're too loaded for your partner. And they're too specific, too sensitive, or frankly too interesting for anyone who hasn't seen everything.

That's exactly where I come in.

This includes founders and business partners navigating the complexity of running something together - where the professional and the personal are impossible to separate and the stakes of getting it wrong are high on every level.

No agenda. No minutes taken. No one else in the room.

Just someone who has seen it all, won't repeat a word of it, and will tell you exactly what they think.

Securing time with me

Securing time with me begins with a private conversation.

This is a paid appointment. Not because access to me is a commodity, but because your time is valuable, and so is mine. People who've made a financial commitment show up differently. That makes the conversation better, for both of us.

This isn't a sales call. It's a real conversation about what's going on for you, and whether I'm the right person to help.

To book, simply secure your appointment on the button below.

$200 + GST for individuals.
$440 + GST for couples.

You'll usually know pretty quickly whether I'm your person.

Everything from your very first contact is treated with complete confidence.

About me

There's no formula here. No program to follow, no framework to work through, no predetermined idea of what your life, business or relationship should look like on the other side.
What there is - is a completely private space where the real conversation can finally happen. I work with what you actually bring, not a sanitised version of it. I say what I see, clearly and directly. Sometimes that's uncomfortable. Usually it's a relief.
And I do it without judgment, without agenda, and without ever repeating a word of it.
I've worked with individuals, couples, and businesses across every kind of situation imaginable for over 14 years.
Affairs and betrayals. Relationships that exist completely outside the mainstream. Decisions that couldn't be brought anywhere else. Businesses showcasing an IG highlight reel whilst imploding behind the scenes. Secrets carried for years. Shame that had never once been said out loud.
The range and depth of what I've held is what allows me to meet people exactly where they are - without flinching, without referencing a textbook, and without needing the situation to be simpler than it actually is.
This isn't a career I fell into. It's the work I was built for. And honestly? I still love it.
You're reading this because you want to know who you're about to trust with something you haven't told anyone else. That makes sense. I'd do the same.
So here's me, unfiltered. And I do mean unfiltered.
I can tell what someone is thinking without them opening their mouth. I've been told this is unsettling. I think it's just paying attention.
My brain works fast, notices everything, and has absolutely no interest in small talk. I'm a Taurus - I come alive at night, I love the darkness, and I find the parts of people they don't show anyone infinitely more interesting than the parts they do. Which is convenient, given what I do for a living.
I've burned my own life to the ground and rebuilt it. I don't flinch at other people's messes because I've made a few spectacular ones of my own. I joke with my clients. I swear occasionally (read: a lot). I will absolutely tell you what I actually think - kindly, directly, and without turning it into a therapy session about your childhood unless your childhood is genuinely the problem.
I'm queer, married to my wife, and a mother. I drink espresso martinis and I take my clients' secrets to the grave. In that order of importance, obviously.
The kind of person you'd want as a friend. What you're actually getting is considerably more useful than that.
Confidentiality above everything. What you bring to me stays with me - always, without exception, covered by a mutual NDA as standard.
No judgment. Ever. Not of your choices, your relationship structure, your desires, your business or your situation. I don't have a predetermined idea of what a good life or a good relationship looks like and I'm not here to impose one.
Honesty over comfort. I'm not here to make you feel better about something that needs to change. I'm here to tell you the truth - kindly, directly, and without softening it into something easier to receive.
Your terms. The help you get here is built around what you actually need, not what's convenient or conventional.

A note on how I’m described

You may have seen me referenced in the media or on a podcast as a relationship coach or strategist - a title I carried for fourteen years and that accurately reflected the work at the time.

Since July 2026, I've retired that title. Not because the work changed, but because my understanding of what I actually do finally caught up with the reality of it.

Confidential Adviser is more accurate. It always was.
