About Megan

Megan Wadsworth is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people facing anxiety, stress and depression. She meets people where they are and focuses on their strengths. Megan's style is warm and direct, aimed at helping clients feel clearer about their next steps.

She draws on Attachment-Based and Trauma-Focused approaches to understand how past relationships and experiences affect present struggles. That helps when anxiety or stress links back to early attachments, loss, or traumatic events.

Background and approach

She also uses psychodynamic and existential ideas to look at repeating patterns and questions about meaning and purpose. Megan has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. During that time she has supported people who report family conflict, low self-esteem, postpartum difficulties, and the effects of abuse and domestic violence.

She also works with concerns such as dissociation, shame, and self-harm thoughts when these arise in therapy. The sessions are collaborative. Megan aims to listen first and then help people try small, practical changes.

Conversations can include looking at relationships, managing strong feelings, and building self-compassion. She offers a steady, non-judgemental presence while people explore difficult memories and current challenges. She holds BACP registration, which is noted as a professional credential in the United Kingdom.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online using video, phone, chat or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety and trauma work

Megan uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current anxiety and relational patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react strongly in certain relationships and offers ways to build more stable connections.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of abuse, assault or other traumatic events. This work focuses on reducing the hold that painful memories have on daily life and on developing practical strategies to manage strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will choose methods that fit. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the pace to suit what feels most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good when visual connection matters, phone sessions can fit a short break in a workday, and messaging or chat allows ongoing contact without needing to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work consistently from different locations.
