Monique Noonan, AASW

Monique Noonan is an Accredited Social Worker (AASW) who supports adults managing a range of mental health challenges. She practices from a client-centred, trauma-informed perspective that combines personal insight with evidence-informed methods to promote empowerment, emotional safety and meaningful growth. Monique adapts each session to a person’s individual strengths, values and goals, drawing on several therapeutic approaches to meet practical needs and foster lasting change.

Her work is guided by compassion, curiosity and a deep respect for lived experience, creating a warm, non-judgemental environment where people are invited to speak openly, explore change and reconnect with their resilience. She aims to help clients deepen self-understanding and collaboratively design a pathway forward that feels safe, sustainable and authentic. Monique focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes, tailoring support to the needs of each person she sees.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, then clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life transitions by strengthening psychological flexibility.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that arise from early relationships, helping people understand how those patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. It can be useful for attachment issues, relationship difficulties and healing from abandonment or adoption-related concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and support so clients can explore their own solutions and build self-trust. This compassionate, collaborative way of working suits people seeking a respectful space to process feelings and make changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monique will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals can draw on multiple approaches to tailor care.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access therapy from home or while balancing work and family responsibilities. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, different ways to communicate depending on comfort level, and consistent access to support when life feels busy or unpredictable.
