About Monique
Monique Noonan is an Accredited Social Worker (AASW) who works with adults facing anxiety, stress and related concerns. She offers calm, straightforward support for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to move forward. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, and she focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.
Monique draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed work. Sessions are tailored to each person's values and strengths, so conversations look different depending on what you need.
Background and approach
She mixes talking, skills practice and simple real-life experiments to help manage anxiety and cope with life changes. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression, alongside areas like caregiver stress, body image and communication problems. Monique uses plain language and steady curiosity to help people understand patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
With three years' experience in social work, Monique blends professional knowledge with an empathetic, lived-experience informed perspective. She encourages small, achievable steps and checks in about what is working. The aim is to build sustainable coping skills and clearer choices rather than quick fixes.
People meet her for short-term work or ongoing support depending on their goals. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on what matters most right now.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical tools to reduce worry and unhelpful behaviour. It suits people wanting concrete strategies to manage anxiety and depressive symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early connections shape current responses, which can help when attachment issues, abandonment or relationship difficulties are a concern.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monique will talk with you about your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan if something does not fit. She combines approaches based on what helps you most rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Online therapy with Monique can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits in-depth sessions with visual cues, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and chat or messaging can support day-to-day skill practice or prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while still using ACT, CBT or attachment work in ways that match your life.
