Megan Bonetti Social Worker

MEB Counselling | Telehealth Australia-wide (07) 4253 4908, Thursday Island, Queensland, 4875

Overview

*For Face to Face appointments please contact the clinic directly via email or phone. I'm an Accredited Social Worker with over 15 years of experience across clinical practice, NGO leadership, and community-based social work. I work with individuals navigating complex psychosocial needs, including trauma, anxiety, grief, identity, and life transitions, and bring a trauma-informed, polyvagal-aware lens to everything I do. I'm currently based in the Torres Strait, where I work across private practice, school-based support, and regional consultancy, and I offer telehealth sessions to clients across Australia. I believe good therapy is grounded, honest, and meets people where they actually are.
