About Megan
Megan Shea is an AASW counsellor who supports men and other adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, depression and life transitions. She also helps with intimacy concerns, self‑esteem, bipolar management and practical coaching when things feel stalled. People often come when a significant change is underway and they want help finding direction.
Megan works in a collaborative, direct way. Sessions focus on clear goals, identifying unhelpful patterns and building forward movement. She blends looking at past experiences with practical tools for the present so people can make decisions with more confidence.
Her approach draws from attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural strategies to address disruptive thoughts and mindfulness and somatic awareness to anchor people in their bodies and daily life. This mix is applied in simple, down-to-earth ways rather than technical jargon.
Megan often supports people navigating relocation, career change, separation, or identity shifts. She also works with first responders, fathers, caregivers and those managing grief, abandonment or control issues. Her style suits people who want reflection alongside tangible change.
With eight years' experience, Megan aims to help clients move from feeling stuck to making intentional choices. She encourages practical steps, clearer self-understanding and ongoing adjustments that fit each person's life and values.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Megan commonly draws on attachment-based therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns and helps people change how they relate to others and themselves. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase calm in everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Megan collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they review what feels useful and adjust the plan over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
