About Monique
Monique Noonan welcomes adults who are under stress, feeling anxious, or struggling with depression. She helps people cope with life changes, trauma and abuse, and concerns about self-esteem. Monique presents a calm and respectful approach so people can talk honestly about what they are going through.
Monique is an AASW social worker with three years of practice experience. She uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on each person’s goals and values.
How Monique works
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit individual needs. Her approach draws on a mix of therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present feelings and behaviours.
Monique works with a wide range of concerns beyond the core issues, including abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication or control issues, domestic violence, emptiness, forgiveness and gender dysphoria. She tailors strategies to the person in front of her rather than applying one set method.
Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer thinking alongside emotional processing. Monique seeks to help people reconnect with their strengths and make steps that feel manageable. The tone is warm, curious and non-judgemental, with a focus on real-world change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, while clarifying personal values to guide action. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current emotional responses and interpersonal patterns, and can be helpful for issues like attachment concerns, abandonment and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monique will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences and current situation. She adapts techniques from these approaches rather than using a single fixed method, so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, keep momentum between sessions, and access ongoing support from an appropriately qualified therapist regardless of location.
