About Megan

Megan Smith is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works mainly with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and trauma-related concerns. She uses Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work.

Megan trained with a Masters degree in person-centred counselling from Chester University and holds a British Psychological Society accredited undergraduate degree in Psychology. She also completed a short course in online and telephone counselling and teaches counselling and psychology as a lecturer at Glyndwr University. These roles shape how she structures sessions and supports people.

Her work often involves listening closely to what a person brings and reflecting that back to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She uses mindfulness techniques to help slow down distressing thoughts and manage anxiety day to day. Sessions focus on what the person wants to address and build practical ways to cope.

Megan has supported adults across the age range with bereavement, drug and alcohol issues, and loss connected to pregnancy and miscarriage. She has a particular focus on adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and related trauma. She also helps with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, family concerns and midlife challenges.

People can expect straightforward, conversational sessions that prioritise the person’s priorities. The subscription-based sessions can be managed month to month. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first appointment.

How her approaches inform remote work

Megan uses Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy as central methods. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and offering a non-directive space so people can explore what matters to them. It can help with relationship issues, low mood and making sense of difficult life events.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and manage anxiety in daily life. These techniques are useful for stress, panic and coping with change because they offer practical ways to notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns.

Deciding on the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to identify their goals, try different methods and adjust the focus as needs and preferences become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. One practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into a busy week without travel. Remote work can also make it easier to arrange shorter check-ins, avoid camera use when preferred, or choose options that need less bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for remote appointments so people can practise skills between sessions.
