About Megan
Megan practises in a person-centred way, which means she starts by paying careful attention to what matters most to you. Early sessions focus on understanding your situation, your needs, and what you want to change. From there she mixes in techniques from approaches that suit your goals and comfort level.
Her background includes work in addiction services and bereavement support. That experience informs a gentle, trauma-aware stance in sessions. She uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside acceptance and commitment ideas when these feel helpful.
Megan has five years of experience and holds BACP accreditation. She is based in the United Kingdom and is able to work with people internationally. She offers sessions in English and Afrikaans.
Common concerns she supports include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, ADHD, stress, self-esteem, and coping with long-term health or caregiving challenges. Megan aims to treat each person with respect and sensitivity while shaping conversations around what they need.
Taking the first step can feel hard, but she works at a steady pace to build clarity and practical ways forward. If you are looking for a therapist who listens and helps you find realistic options, she may be a good match.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values and take meaningful action despite difficult feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation problems by encouraging small, value-led steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to manage symptoms like worry, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions and relies on warm listening and empathy to help people find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Megan will help clients choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals and what feels comfortable. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts the mix of techniques as therapy progresses.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the supplied biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a break at work. Different approaches suit different moments - some sessions focus on short skills practice while others spend more time talking through experiences - and these can be adapted to fit into everyday life.
