About Megan
Megan Toy is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression, and lists ADHD, addictions, trauma and grief among her areas of focus. Megan also supports people dealing with parenting stress, career concerns, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
Megan has worked with people living with both mental and physical health challenges, and has experience supporting veterans. She describes a relaxed practice style that uses practical skills rather than jargon. Sessions often involve talking through what’s happening now and identifying small, usable steps to manage it.
Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness. She uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people notice what matters to them and find motivation for change. Client-Centred Therapy informs how she listens and reflects what people say back to them.
Megan notes experience supporting people with complex presentations, including neurodiversity, chronic illness, cognitive changes and psychosis. She also lists additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, domestic violence and hoarding. The emphasis is on clear strategies and resource-building rather than labels.
Sessions aim to build practical coping skills such as grounding, boundary setting and paced exposure to difficult situations. Megan encourages mindfulness practices and using existing strengths to face challenges. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can work
Megan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take small actions that align with what matters to them. ACT often focuses on living with uncomfortable thoughts while committing to meaningful behaviours.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, panic and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods as needed. That collaborative process helps decide which strategies suit a person best.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting. These practical benefits can help people practise skills in real-life settings and keep therapy sustainable alongside everyday demands.
