Megan Toy, AASW

Megan Toy is an AASW social worker in Australia with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self‑esteem and depression. She also supports people facing parenting strain, grief, trauma and substance concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients.

Megan describes a relaxed practice style. She uses client-centred conversation to hear what matters most. She combines mindfulness techniques with practical steps for setting boundaries and using existing strengths. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy principles to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

Her background includes supporting people living with chronic health conditions and some veterans. That work brought experience with cognitive changes, neurodiversity and complex coping strategies. She has sat with people managing psychosis, autoimmune illness and degenerative disorders, and worked alongside carers coping with ongoing stress.

In a typical session she talks through current problems, looks at what has helped in the past, and practises small, achievable changes. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she helps people clarify what matters and make steps towards it. Mindfulness skills are taught through brief exercises during conversation.

Megan frames clients as experts in their own lives and focuses on building practical options. She prioritises clearer communication, stronger boundaries and simple routines that fit day‑to‑day life. People who want straightforward, skills‑based support for parenting strain or family conflict may find her approach useful.
