About Megan
Megan Shea is an AASW counsellor with eight years' experience in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar challenges, and major life changes. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, and coaching for decisions that feel stalled.
Megan describes her approach as integrative and insight-oriented. She combines cognitive behavioural techniques with mindfulness and somatic awareness to help people notice patterns in thinking and feeling. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps as well as deeper understanding of how past attachments affect present relationships.
She pays attention to attachment issues, abandonment wounds, and communication problems that often underpin relationship difficulties. For people with trauma or dissociation concerns she brings trauma-focused and body-based methods to help reduce reactivity and improve regulation. She also supports those experiencing caregiver stress, first responder strain, or the fallout of separation and divorce.
Megan works directly and collaboratively. Conversations are aimed at clarity and movement rather than staying comfortable with the problem. She helps people weigh options, make decisions, and practise new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Her style can suit reflective people trying to resolve identity questions, career shifts or relocation choices. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered to clients based in Australia only. To begin, clients follow the platform process to match and schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when abandonment, trust or communication problems make social situations and intimacy difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on what people think and do in the moment. It provides concrete tools to test anxious thoughts and practise different behaviours in everyday life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and strengthen presence during stressful interactions.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Megan will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort. That choice can shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Generally, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or letting someone choose an audio-only session when camera time is difficult. Discussing practical needs during the first meeting helps shape session length, frequency and focus so therapy fits into day-to-day life.
