About Megan

Megan Du Plessis welcomes people who need someone to really listen and help them make sense of difficult feelings. She introduces herself clearly and simply, and focuses first on hearing a person's story. Her approach begins with understanding what matters to the individual and what they most want to change.

Megan works in a person-centred way, adapting sessions to each person's needs. Early meetings concentrate on listening, identifying goals, and clarifying options.

Background and approach

As therapy progresses, she may draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, among other approaches, to address patterns that keep someone stuck. She has five years of experience that includes work in addiction services and bereavement support. That background means she is familiar with trauma-aware methods and practical, solution-focused steps when needed.

Megan aims to avoid re-traumatisation and to proceed at a pace the client can manage. Megan offers support for a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting pressures, and ADHD. She also has experience with issues such as adoption and foster care, chronic illness, body image, and work-related stress.

Sessions are conducted in English and Afrikaans, and she is able to work with international clients. The initial focus is always on building trust and finding simple, doable steps forward that fit a person's everyday life.

How Megan works online

Megan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside a person-centred way of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and focus on actions that fit their values, which can aid anxiety, stress and life-change decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps build practical strategies for sleep problems, low mood and unhelpful coping patterns. The person-centred approach places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions and guides how other techniques are used.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on how helpful they feel. This is a collaborative process and aims to match tools to a person's needs, preferences and pace.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier, allowing shorter check-ins, fewer travel demands, and the chance to plan sessions around work or caring commitments. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to support consistent progress and to make therapy more practical for everyday schedules.
