About Megan
Megan Smith is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She trained with a Masters in person-centred counselling from Chester University and holds a British Psychological Society accredited undergraduate degree in Psychology. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and supports people dealing with trauma, grief and substance issues.
Megan uses client-centred methods to prioritise the person's experience in each session. She listens for what matters most and helps people talk through painful memories or current conflicts. Her background includes work with adults who have survived childhood sexual abuse, and with people managing pregnancy trauma, miscarriage and other women's health concerns.
Mindfulness practice appears alongside her client-centred approach. She introduces simple attention and breathing exercises to help reduce overwhelming feelings and to ground people during hard moments. These techniques are offered in straightforward steps that can be used between sessions.
As a lecturer in counselling and psychology, she combines teaching experience with clinical work. That role keeps her engaged with current practice and reflective about helpful ways to support people. She also completed an online and telephone counselling short course and developed a brief course for Glyndwr University.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with fees that vary by location. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online therapy
Megan draws mainly on client-centred therapy and mindfulness therapy in her online work. Client-centred therapy means the conversation is led by what the person brings, with the therapist reflecting and asking questions to clarify what matters. This approach is useful for relationship stress, low self-esteem and exploring difficult feelings.Mindfulness therapy involves simple practices to calm the body and focus attention. She may teach short breathing or grounding exercises to help manage anxiety, intrusive memories or moments of intense emotion. These are practical tools to use between sessions as well.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Megan will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then adapt sessions as needed. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to try and how to pace them.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find that these practical benefits make regular sessions easier to maintain.
