About Megan

Megan Smith is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach alongside mindfulness techniques. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Her clear, calm manner makes it easier to talk about difficult topics.

She works in the United Kingdom and carries the NCPS credential. Megan has a Master of Arts in person-centred counselling from Chester University and an undergraduate degree in Psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society.

Background and approach

She also completed an online and telephone counselling short course and created a short course for Glyndwr University, where she teaches counselling and psychology. In sessions she listens first and follows each person's pace. Conversations aim to make sense of feelings like shame, grief, emptiness, or distress after abuse.

She uses mindfulness exercises to help people notice thoughts and manage intense emotions in the moment. Her background includes supporting people with addiction, bereavement, relationship breakdown, pregnancy trauma and issues connected to childhood sexual abuse. She helps with day-to-day problems too, such as work stress, midlife questions, and difficulties with intimacy or self-esteem.

Megan has seven years of clinical experience and adapts her style to each person. She encourages practical steps alongside reflective work so people can try changes between sessions. The focus is on what matters most to the individual and on steady progress over time.

How person-centred and mindfulness work online

Megan uses person-centred counselling which focuses on being listened to without judgment. This approach helps people feel heard, clarify what matters to them, and set gentle goals for change. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations so emotions feel more manageable in stressful moments. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and recommend ways of working that suit them. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets you see non-verbal cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be quieter and need less bandwidth when video is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins or for people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring commitments or mobility needs, while keeping the therapeutic focus on steady progress and practical steps.
