Megan Shea

Megan Shea is an AASW credentialed therapist in Australia with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and people coping with major life changes. Megan also lists coaching, intimacy-related issues and self-esteem among her core concerns.

Many clients come when something important is shifting and they feel unsure what comes next. Megan focuses on clarity and self-understanding. She takes a direct, collaborative approach that helps people notice patterns and make considered choices about their next steps.

Her work blends practical, evidence-informed methods with mindfulness and somatic awareness. Conversations look at thoughts and behaviour, but also at how the body and relationships shape decisions. Sessions aim to move beyond symptom management toward clearer direction and intention.

Megan often works with people navigating relocation, career change, relationship shifts or broader identity questions. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, caregiving stress, and the aftermath of divorce and separation.

Over eight years she has built experience with trauma-focused methods and psychodynamic ways of understanding long-standing patterns. Clients who prefer reflective, engaged therapy may find her style fits their needs. Sessions are offered in English in Australia and international clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches translate to online work

Megan draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships influence current patterns and helps clarify interpersonal needs and reactions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations and to respond rather than react.

Picking the right approach is part of the work. Megan treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients and therapists choose which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences and life circumstances. She aims to balance practical tools with deeper reflection so sessions feel purposeful rather than vague.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and relocation. They also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and make it possible to meet with a therapist while living in a different part of Australia. Ask about session length and technical needs when scheduling to ensure the arrangement suits everyday life.
