Overview

Megan (Meg) Bonetti is an Accredited Social Worker and founder of MEB Counselling, offering trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming online counselling across Australia. She supports adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, trauma, grief, life transitions and the pressure of carrying work, family logistics and other people's emotional needs. Meg also works with couples and families navigating conflict, repair, separation and complex relationship decisions, and provides professional supervision for social workers, counsellors and helping professionals. Meg also welcomes enquiries from parents and adult children of any gender navigating communication difficulties, boundaries and changing family roles. This includes mother–daughter, father–daughter, father–son and mother–son relationships. You can seek support for yourself even if the other person is not ready to participate. If you are considering attending together, please contact Meg first to discuss suitability and the available options. With more than two decades of social work experience across community, refugee, leadership and remote settings, Meg brings clinical depth together with a warm, practical and down-to-earth style. Her approach combines conversation with somatic and polyvagal-informed work, helping clients understand what their nervous system is doing and build strategies that fit real life. Individual counselling sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes by secure video, phone or in writing, including for people living in rural, regional and remote communities. Written counselling takes place during your booked session, rather than through ongoing messaging. Private clients can book without a GP referral. MEB appointments do not currently attract Medicare rebates. You do not need to tidy up your story before you arrive.
