About Megan
Megan Smith is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She holds a Master’s degree in person-centred counselling and the NCPS credential is listed with her name. Her style is direct and calm, aimed at helping people feel heard and clearer about next steps.
Megan draws on seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. She has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression and grief.
Background and approach
She also works with clients facing relationship strain, loss, addiction and challenges linked to identity, including LGBT concerns. Her background includes an undergraduate degree in psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society, and recent study in online and telephone counselling. She also teaches counselling and psychology at Glyndwr University, where she developed a short course on online and telephone work.
In sessions she uses person-centred principles and mindfulness-based practices. That means she focuses on listening closely, reflecting what people say, and offering simple exercises to build awareness and calm. Sessions usually aim to make emotions easier to manage and to help people take practical steps forward.
Megan has particular experience with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and related trauma, and with issues such as miscarriage and pregnancy trauma. She helps people talk through shame, guilt, isolation and the effects of past harm while supporting them to regain a sense of control and direction.

Person-centred and mindfulness approaches for online support
Megan uses person-centred counselling and mindfulness practice as the core of her work. Person-centred counselling is about listening carefully and reflecting what someone says so they feel understood. It is useful for people coping with low mood, loss or relationship strain because it helps bring clarity to difficult feelings.Mindfulness practice involves short exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. These exercises can help with anxiety, stress and managing intense emotions by building simple skills to step back from overwhelming thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and try approaches that suit their needs. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made collaboratively so the work fits what the person wants to achieve.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life by reducing travel and allowing sessions from different locations. It can also allow quieter, shorter check-ins and different ways of practising mindfulness between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use online options to make therapy more practical for people with busy schedules.
