About Megan

Megan Smith uses a person-centred approach to make therapy feel straightforward and human. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through immediate concerns. Megan's style is calm and practical, aimed at helping someone find clearer thinking and steadier emotion. She holds NCPS as a credential and has seven years' experience in counselling.

Megan trained with a Masters in person-centred counselling from Chester University. She also completed an undergraduate degree in psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society. Those studies shape how she frames conversations and understands how thoughts, feelings and relationships interact.

Her work often covers common struggles such as anxiety, stress and low mood. She also supports people dealing with bereavement, relationship difficulties, addiction, and pregnancy-related trauma such as miscarriage. Many sessions focus on building self-esteem and coping with big life changes.

Megan has experience with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and a continuing interest in related issues. She also helps people facing intimacy concerns, grief around hospice and end-of-life situations, and the emotional aftermath of separation and infidelity.

In the room she uses Client-Centred Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and find practical ways forward. She also teaches counselling and psychology at university level, which keeps her practice connected to current thinking and student work.

Her work is offered in English and based in the United Kingdom. Prospective clients are invited to use the service's Start Therapy button to begin the matching process.

How client-centred and mindfulness work online

Megan uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and building understanding. In practical terms this means giving people space to tell their story while the counsellor reflects back what they hear. It helps with emotional overwhelm, relationship worries and finding clearer decisions.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention exercises. These help with anxiety, stress and the agitation that often follows loss or pregnancy-related trauma. Mindfulness work is taught in bite-sized steps so it fits into busy daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Megan will collaborate with each person to decide whether person-centred conversations, mindfulness practices, or a mix will suit their needs and goals. That choice is reviewed as therapy continues to make sure it still feels helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around appointments, childcare or work commitments, and it often reduces travel time. It also allows short check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what a person needs and what the therapist offers.
