About Megan

Megan Shea is a credentialed therapist with AASW accreditation and eight years of professional experience supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, burnout and major life transitions. She works with people who find themselves at a turning point - relocating, changing careers, reassessing relationships, or feeling a persistent sense that something important needs to shift. Her practice emphasises clarity, self-understanding and intentional forward movement rather than simply managing symptoms.

Megan takes an integrative, insight-oriented approach that blends evidence-based techniques with mindfulness, somatic awareness and values-based exploration. She works collaboratively and directly, aiming to help clients understand recurring patterns, reclaim agency and choose direction with intention. This style often resonates with reflective, engaged people, including those living or working across different cultures or time zones.

Throughout her practice Megan supports exploration of attachment and intimacy-related issues, coping with change, and the practical and emotional effects of trauma. As an AASW member - the Australian Association of Social Workers - she brings a professional grounding in social work perspectives alongside therapeutic approaches that encourage self-reflection, practical change and renewed sense of purpose.

Integrative approaches and online therapy options

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and expectations in close relationships. It helps people who struggle with abandonment, commitment, trust or intimacy to recognise recurring dynamics and build more secure connections.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking, reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, and develop more effective coping skills for stress and life change.

Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and non-judgemental observation of experience. It supports clients dealing with anxiety, rumination, and emotional reactivity by teaching skills to pause, notice patterns and respond with intention.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Megan works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals will adapt methods over time so clients can discover what feels most effective for them.

Online therapy offers flexible access to sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to arrange appointments around work, family and relocation, and they allow therapy to continue for people in different time zones or with mobility constraints. The practical convenience often helps clients maintain consistency and apply therapeutic work between sessions.
