About Megan

Megan Smith is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working to help people feel heard and understood. She holds a Master’s degree in person-centred counselling from Chester University and is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member. Megan combines calm, practical listening with a focus on what matters to each person.

Megan has seven years of practice experience and a background in psychology from a British Psychological Society accredited undergraduate degree. She also teaches counselling and psychology at Glyndwr University and has developed short courses in online and telephone counselling.

People come to Megan with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, and issues linked to trauma and abuse. She has particular experience supporting adults who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse. She also works with people facing addictions, body image worries, and midlife or career changes.

In sessions she draws on person-centred principles and mindfulness techniques to help clients slow down, notice what matters and make choices that fit their life. Meetings are shaped around the client’s pace and goals, with space to reflect and try small changes between sessions.

Megan practises in the United Kingdom and carries experience across a broad adult age range. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.

Client-centred and mindfulness approaches online

Megan integrates person-centred counselling and mindfulness in her work. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what the client brings to each session. It helps people clarify values, build self-understanding and make choices that fit their life.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. This can help with anxiety, stress, low mood and coping after trauma by strengthening awareness of the present moment and habitual reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Megan will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

The original biography mentions training in online and telephone counselling, but does not specify every current format offered. Please confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Telephone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred, while other formats may suit different needs.
