Welcome to Fearless
Finding a way through trauma
About Us
Fearless is the dynamic new organisation born from many years of experience working with trauma, those who experience trauma, and those who work with trauma. Fearless is dedicated to driving clinical practice, upholding ethical standards, and advancing academic research to ensure that individuals affected by trauma receive the support they need.
​
Fearless is a non-profit organisation that believes strongly in the power of recovery. We're here to help people find their way back to the light. We understand that trauma can have a devastating impact on individuals and their loved ones, often contributing to other mental and physical health challenges.
​
At Fearless, we do more than offer support. We also provide a voice for those affected by trauma and their loved ones, advocating for change to improve outcomes and empower them.

Megan Wright
(She/They)
Therapist Megan decided to train as a therapist when working in homelessness services. Megan was disappointed in the lack of accessible, trauma-informed support available to clients, and wanted to help change this. Megan graduated with a master's degree in person-centred and experiential therapy in 2023. Since then, Megan have been supporting survivors of suicide bereavement at The Tomorrow Project. Recently, Megan has also undertaken training in a trauma-informed approach and is now looking to explore with clients how their whole body responds to trauma, and how to rebuild the body's ability to experience safety. Megan continues to prioritise the therapeutic relationship, and my clients' autonomy. Megan is also always striving to explore and uphold anti-oppressive practices and has a particular interest in creating an affirming space for LGBTQIA+ people.'
