About Megan
Megan Smith is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) with seven years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She has a Masters degree in person-centred counselling from Chester University and an undergraduate degree in Psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society. Megan works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and she lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
Megan uses client-centred approaches in sessions. That means she listens first and follows what the person brings to the room. She uses mindfulness practices as well to help people notice difficult feelings without being overwhelmed by them.
Her background includes work with people experiencing bereavement, drug and alcohol problems, pregnancy and miscarriage trauma, and survivors of childhood sexual abuse. She has experience with issues around intimacy, self-esteem, isolation and midlife transitions. Her teaching role at Glyndwr University keeps her engaged with current counselling practice.
In a typical session Megan talks through what is happening now and what matters most to the client. She helps people name and sit with emotions such as guilt and shame, and to notice patterns that keep those feelings active. Practical use of mindfulness is offered alongside person-centred listening.
If a prospective client wants to start, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Client-Centred and Mindfulness approaches for remote sessions
Megan draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on careful listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, asks clarifying questions, and helps people express what feels hard to name. This approach suits people who need steady listening and space to work through guilt or relationship pain.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention practices. These help people notice thoughts and feelings, such as shame, without immediately reacting. Mindfulness can be useful alongside talking work for stress, anxiety and grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. Megan works collaboratively to decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss whether more listening, mindfulness exercises, or a mix of both is best for the concern you bring.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit counselling around everyday life by removing travel and making it easier to attend during a lunch break or from a quieter place. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer remote sessions to make it simpler to get regular support.
