About Megan
Megan Shea is an AASW clinician with eight years' experience based in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Many people come when something important is shifting and they want to figure out what comes next.
Megan describes her practice as integrative and insight-oriented. She combines attachment-focused ideas, cognitive tools, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions focus on making patterns clear and helping people choose a direction that fits their values.
Her style is collaborative and direct. Conversations are practical and reflective. She aims to help clients understand how past experiences shape current choices and reactions.
Megan often works with people navigating relocation, career change, relationship shifts, identity questions, or a persistent sense that change is needed. She pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment, abandonment and codependency, and to the impact of stress on daily functioning.
The work can include skill practice from cognitive behavioural therapy, body-based noticing and regulation from somatic approaches, and longer-term reflection from psychodynamic ideas. Clients who prefer an engaged, reflective approach tend to find this method useful.
Sessions are conducted in English and Megan does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and are delivered through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How attachment, CBT and mindfulness translate to online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationship patterns shape current expectations and reactions. In online sessions this often means mapping recurring interaction styles and practising new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions commonly include identifying unhelpful thinking, testing different behaviours, and using targeted exercises between meetings to track changes.
Mindfulness approaches teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness. These practices can be led in session and used as short exercises between meetings to help manage stress and overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on the client’s goals, preferences and experience. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to an appointment. Therapists who use these approaches aim to make practical tools and reflective work fit into everyday life.
