Megan Smith, NCPS

Megan Smith is a counsellor who uses a person-centred style to help people feel heard and understood. She holds a Masters degree in person-centred counselling and draws on seven years of practice to support people facing stress, anxiety and relationship concerns.

Her background includes an undergraduate degree in Psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society, which she describes as part of her practice. She also completed a short course in online and telephone counselling and teaches counselling and psychology at Glyndwr University.

In sessions she focuses on what matters to the individual. That might mean talking through grief, working through issues around infidelity or jealousy, or making sense of trauma and abuse. She uses a client-centred approach to create a space where people name their priorities and move at a pace they can manage.

Megan also integrates mindfulness techniques to help with anxiety, low mood and stress. These are simple, practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings and to build steadier daily routines.

She has experience supporting adults with drug and alcohol addiction, bereavement, body image and self-esteem concerns. Her work with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse is a particular interest and has shaped her approach to careful, paced therapy.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Payment uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy is about being listened to and guiding the work by what matters to the person. The counsellor prioritises empathy, respect and helping a person set the pace for conversations, which can suit issues like relationship strain, bereavement and low self-esteem.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. It is often used for anxiety, stress and managing cravings linked to addiction or unhelpful coping behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the person to choose which methods to try based on their goals and what feels comfortable. That collaborative planning can include brief mindfulness exercises, reflective conversation, or a mix of both.

Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and it can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and can make it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes.
