About Me

Welcome to Collins Counselling — a boutique private practice located in the beautiful coastal community of Warrnambool.

I’m Megan Collins, a qualified and registered counsellor with a Master’s in Counselling and a heartfelt commitment to helping adolescents and adults navigate life’s challenges with strength, clarity, and self-compassion.

With lived experience and late-diagnosed ADHD, I understand the importance of personal insight, flexibility, and resilience. My approach is warm, grounded, and client-centred — rooted in genuine connection and respect for your unique story.

With over three years supporting teens and their families working in secondary school wellbeing in Warrnambool, I have navigated a range of challenges including anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, and school can't. My approach is grounded in connection, fostering self-efficacy and building on individual strengths, helping young people develop confidence and resilience.

In school, I facilitate small group programs focused on social skills, including groups designed specifically to support teenage girls in strengthening peer connections and navigating the complexities of adolescent relationships.

I believe that every individual has the inner capacity for growth and change. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your values, uncover meaning, and tap into the inner resources that support wellbeing and forward movement.

How I Work

My approach to counselling is client-centred and strengths-based, grounded in empathy, patience, and a deep respect for each person's capacity for growth and change. I believe that healing and progress are best supported through a strong therapeutic relationship—one built on trust, collaboration, and genuine connection. I work alongside clients as they navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and general life stress, supporting them to build practical skills, enhance communication, and reconnect with their sense of self-worth and motivation.

Drawing on a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Informed Care, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs and preferences of the individual. My focus is on fostering self-determination and agency, helping clients tap into their innate strengths and inner resources. Whether working through life’s changes and challenges, building emotional regulation, or setting meaningful goals, I hold a positive and empowering perspective—believing that everyone has the potential to create lasting, meaningful change in their lives.
