About Megan
Megan Smith is a counsellor who uses a person-centred style to help people work through anxiety and other stressful life concerns. She holds a Masters degree in person-centred counselling from Chester University and has seven years of practice. Her background in psychology supports a grounded, straightforward approach when people are worried or overwhelmed.
Megan listens and reflects rather than directing. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and learn small ways to steady their mood. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing career changes, issues with self-esteem, and challenges linked to trauma and abuse.
Megan pays special attention to people who have experienced childhood sexual abuse and the ongoing issues that can follow. Megan has taught counselling and psychology at university level and developed short courses on online and telephone counselling. That teaching role informs her practice and keeps her thinking about clear, evidence-informed ways to explain what happens in sessions.
Sessions are delivered in English and are offered in the United Kingdom. She draws on simple, practical tools and a calm conversational style so people can make steady progress at a pace that suits them.
How person-centred work and mindfulness translate online
Megan draws on person-centred principles and mindfulness practice in online sessions. Person-centred therapy means the counsellor focuses on the individual's concerns, listens without judgement and follows the client's lead. It is useful for people who need a steady, accepting space to talk about anxiety, relationships or life changes.Mindfulness therapy involves simple exercises that bring attention to the present moment and bodily sensations. These practices can help manage stress, reduce rumination and create short pauses between thoughts and reactions. Both approaches are adaptable to online formats and can be practised between sessions as short daily exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what fits best. This happens collaboratively so people can shape the pace and focus of therapy.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow a more conversational experience, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping therapy accessible from different locations.
