About Megan

Megan Du Plessis is a counsellor who aims to help people feel heard and understood. She focuses on listening first, then works with each person to clarify immediate needs and next steps. Megan uses simple, direct conversation to help relieve anxiety and other stresses that make daily life harder.

She adapts her style to what suits each person. Sessions often start with where things feel most difficult now, and then move at a pace that feels manageable.

Background and approach

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s perspective and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at patterns that maintain worry or low mood. Megan has five years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. Her background includes work in addiction services and bereavement support, which shapes a trauma-aware and solution-focused approach.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Megan supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. She also works with a wide range of additional areas such as chronic illness, caregiving stress, ADHD, and body image concerns.

Sessions can be offered in English or Afrikaans, and she accepts international clients. People can expect a calm, respectful space and a practical focus on small steps that make a difference.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Megan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and then choose small actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and worries, try methods that fit your style, and adjust the plan together as progress is made. This helps ensure sessions stay focused on what matters to you.

Online therapy with Megan can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or travel while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
