About Megan

Megan Du Plessis is a UK-licensed therapist who offers a calm, person-centred approach focused on listening and understanding. She creates a supportive space where people can feel heard while they explore what is happening in their lives and what options might help them move forward. In early sessions she prioritises gentle listening and clarity - helping clients identify their needs and possible next steps before shaping a plan together.

Her practice draws on a range of approaches to suit each person, including elements of cognitive behavioral work and compassion-focused techniques where these fit the client’s goals and comfort. Megan has worked in addiction services and applied trauma-informed principles, and she has supported people through bereavement using more solution-focused strategies. That breadth of experience provides a flexible toolkit to address issues such as trauma and abuse, addiction, migration grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem challenges, and confidence concerns.

She is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Throughout her practice Megan aims to respond with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans around each person’s unique needs. Taking the first step into therapy requires courage, and Megan recognises that beginning this work is an important achievement in itself.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-directive environment where the client’s own priorities lead the work. The therapist listens deeply and reflects back understanding so people can explore their feelings and values and decide what matters most to them in therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by testing assumptions, trying new actions, and building skills to cope with everyday challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages openness to difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed actions that move a person toward a meaningful life. It can be helpful for people struggling with avoidance, low motivation, or painful emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Megan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will experiment and adjust the focus of sessions so the approach feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy with Megan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists from wherever a person is located, while allowing sessions to be matched to practical needs and communication preferences.
