About Megan
Megan Smith is an NCPS therapist with seven years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She has a Master’s degree in person-centred counselling from Chester University and an undergraduate psychology degree accredited by the British Psychological Society. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression.
She uses person-centred ideas in sessions, listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. Mindfulness techniques are also part of her practice, offering simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. This mix can help when someone is dealing with grief, addiction or ongoing feelings of emptiness and shame.
Megan has supported adults across the life span, including people with substance use issues and survivors of childhood sexual abuse. She has also helped people through pregnancy trauma, miscarriage and relationship breakdown. Her background includes teaching counselling and psychology at Glyndwr University and developing an online and telephone counselling short course.
Sessions tend to focus on the next practical step a person wants to take. Conversations aim to clarify priorities, reduce unhelpful patterns and build coping strategies for work, study and relationships. For young adults this can include tackling comparison, career uncertainty, moving away from home and feeling behind peers.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation about their difficulties and practical mindfulness exercises to try between sessions. To begin, the site matching questionnaire is used to arrange a first session and confirm the best session format for the person.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities. The therapist listens, reflects and helps the person find their own solutions. It suits issues like relationship stress, low self-esteem and feeling stuck after big life changes.Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting pulled into them. These skills can help with anxiety, depression, cravings and the emotional fallout of trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then adjust the style as needed. That makes sessions collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or study, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals aim to match the approach and practical setup to the person’s needs and routines.
