Megan Smith uses a person-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She is named in the first paragraph so readers know who they are considering. Her style is straightforward and calm, and she aims to make sessions easy to follow for someone worried or overwhelmed.

Megan holds a Masters degree in person-centred counselling from Chester University, United Kingdom, and an undergraduate degree in psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society, which she abbreviates as BPS.

Background and approach

She is also listed as NCPS, and is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred). Megan combines her academic background with seven years of direct practice. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression.

She also helps with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, bereavement and a range of intimacy-related concerns. Addictions, body image and issues tied to self-esteem are also within her focus. Megan pays attention to attachment and abandonment wounds, and she works with avoidant and antisocial personality presentations when these are part of someone’s story.

She also addresses practical life challenges such as career change, midlife crisis and coping with major life transitions. Sessions use a client-centred foundation alongside mindfulness techniques. That means conversations are shaped around what matters to the person in the room, with simple mindfulness tools offered to manage distress in day-to-day life.

Megan also brings experience teaching counselling and psychology at university level, which informs her practical, clear approach.

Client-centred and mindfulness approaches for online care

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without directing, follows what matters to the client and helps them find their own solutions. It is useful for issues like relationship trouble, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple, practical ways to notice thoughts and body sensations without getting overwhelmed. These techniques can reduce stress, ease anxiety and help people manage cravings or strong emotions in the moment.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which combination of person-centred listening and mindfulness exercises feels most useful. The plan can change as therapy progresses to match what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals and come in several formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when they prefer it, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be shorter check-ins or steady, ongoing conversations for those who find writing easier. These options add flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
