About Tegan
Tegan Nedelkos is an Accredited Social Worker (AASW) with ten years of practical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, and supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse. Tegan offers a calm, steady presence for someone who feels overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.
Her sessions start with listening. She uses a strengths-based, person-centred approach to build a trusting working relationship. From there she and the client look at what might be keeping patterns going and try small, doable steps to change them.
Background and approach
Tegan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness-based work. She adapts tools to each person rather than following a fixed plan. The aim is to find practical ways to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping.
Her background includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship conflict. She also helps with attachment worries, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and life transitions such as separation or new parenthood. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Tegan works from Australia and uses an AASW credential to describe her professional standing. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy helps
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It aims to reduce avoidance and build a more meaningful day-to-day life, which can be useful for anxiety and worry.Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical techniques to test and shift unhelpful thinking and to develop new coping skills for stress and mood concerns.
Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and increase calm. These tools are often used alongside other approaches to help with emotional regulation and grounding after stressful events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will try methods that fit your situation. If something does not feel helpful, adjustments are made so the therapy suits you.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let you see facial cues and hold a longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who process better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access an appropriately qualified therapist from different locations.
