About Megan
Megan Du Plessis is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works with people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety, addictions and other challenges common in early adulthood.
Megan begins by listening carefully to understand the situation and the pressures a person is dealing with. Early sessions focus on clarifying immediate needs and practical options. She uses a person-centred style and then brings in other approaches as they make sense for the person’s goals.
Her background includes work in addiction services where trauma-informed ways of working were used. She also has experience supporting people through bereavement with a solution-focused angle. Those settings helped her build a range of practical tools she can draw on in sessions.
Megan helps with issues such as motivation, confidence and coping with change. She also works with concerns including intimacy-related matters, sleep problems, parenting stresses, career worries and neurodiversity-related challenges like ADHD and autism. Sessions aim to be paced to the person’s readiness and comfort.
She speaks English and Afrikaans and accepts international clients. The profile notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and that costs vary with location. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Megan brings therapy online with practical approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values and can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy centres on careful listening and the person’s own pace; it helps people who need space to make sense of relationships and identity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers concrete strategies for stress, sleep problems and unhelpful worry.Working out which approach to use is part of the work. Megan will discuss goals and methods with each person and try different ways until something fits. That decision is collaborative and based on what helps with the client’s priorities and comfort level.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or irregular hours. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, use shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel on busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the mix of ACT, client-centred listening and CBT techniques to suit an online session and everyday life.
