About Megan
Megan Smith offers a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's experience at the heart of each session. She draws on seven years of counselling practice and a Masters degree in person-centred counselling from Chester University. Megan also holds a British Psychological Society accredited undergraduate degree in Psychology, abbreviated as BPS.
Megan aims to create a calm space for people to talk through stress, anxiety and depression. She supports discussions about relationships, intimacy, grief and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also addresses addictions, career worries and major life changes. Her clinical work includes attention to trauma and abuse, including adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. She helps people who struggle with attachment and abandonment issues, feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame, and those coping with domestic violence, infidelity and isolation.
Megan combines client-centred listening with mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions are practical and paced to the person's needs, with a focus on small steps that can fit into everyday life. Alongside practice, Megan teaches counselling and psychology at Glyndwr University and has run short courses in online and telephone counselling.
Prospective clients in the United Kingdom can expect clear information about next steps and a straightforward booking path.

How Megan works online
She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people build awareness of thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. Mindfulness can make it easier to spot unhelpful patterns and try small, practical changes. This approach is commonly helpful for stress, anxiety, rumination and coping after trauma.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. They will check in regularly and adapt methods as progress and priorities change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep momentum between face-to-face meetings and to make therapy more adaptable to everyday life.
