Megan King offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She welcomes those dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties, and aims to help each person feel heard and understood. Her approach is gentle and practical, focusing on what a person needs right now rather than one fixed method.
Megan is a BACP member. She works in a pluralistic way, which means she draws on several therapies and adapts sessions to the individual.
Background and approach
That might include talking through thoughts and patterns, exploring difficult memories, or trying small practical tasks between sessions. She often uses ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at relationship patterns and how early experiences shape current feelings.
Megan also supports people with concerns linked to identity and intimacy, including LGBT issues and alternative sex culture. Additional areas she addresses include body image, eating-related difficulties, codependency, dissociation and family of origin matters. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging which can suit different schedules and needs.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to the therapist's availability. The process aims to be practical and collaborative, with pace set by the client.
How Megan's approaches work online
Megan commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working with people online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting pulled into them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect trust and closeness now; this approach helps with relationship difficulties and feelings of abandonment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan treats approach choice as a collaboration and will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Over a few sessions she and the client agree on practical steps and which methods to use, adjusting as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can be helpful for shorter check-ins, writing through thoughts, or fitting therapy around a busy day. Registered and accredited professionals offer these formats across different schedules and locations.
