Megan Smith

Megan Smith is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She uses a warm, listening style to help people talk through anxiety, stress, relationship problems and grief. Megan draws on seven years of practice and her background in psychology to keep sessions grounded and practical.

She trained at Chester University and holds a Masters degree in person-centred counselling. She also has an undergraduate degree in psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society, which informs her understanding of how behaviour and thought connect. Megan is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred).

In sessions she focuses on what matters now. People bring experiences such as trauma, bereavement, addiction, self-esteem issues and intimacy concerns. She pays particular attention to the impact of childhood sexual abuse and related difficulties, and supports people working through loss, relationship breakdown and midlife change.

Megan uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful space where the person leads the conversation. She also brings Mindfulness Therapy techniques to help reduce overwhelming feelings and build calmer ways of coping. Her style aims to be straightforward and steady, with practical steps when needed.

She works with adults and relies on a mix of life experience and academic training to shape her practice. People seeking help can expect a clear, humane approach that balances listening with gentle guidance.

How Megan’s approaches translate to online support

Megan works from a Client-Centred Therapy approach, which puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. This means the counsellor follows what matters most to the client, reflects on what is said and helps people find their own way forward. It suits people who need a listening space for relationship issues, grief or ongoing stress.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy techniques to help reduce anxiety and manage strong feelings. Mindfulness can offer short practices to calm the body and refocus attention, which can be useful for coping with overwhelm, cravings or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what helps them feel understood. Together they decide which combination of person-centred listening and mindfulness exercises fits best for the issues at hand.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins during difficult stretches. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques to an online setting so people still get steady, practical support.
