Megan Smith, NCPS

Megan Smith uses a person-centred approach to make therapy feel respectful and straightforward. She focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own answers. Megan explains ideas simply and works at a steady pace so parents and busy adults can follow along.

Megan holds an NCPS credential and has seven years of practice. She completed a Masters degree in person-centred counselling at Chester University and has an undergraduate degree in psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society. She also developed and delivered a short course in counselling at Glyndwr University and has undertaken training in online and telephone counselling.

In sessions she follows Client-Centred Therapy principles, offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help with stress, anxiety and staying present. Megan helps people manage depression, low self-esteem, and addiction concerns through practical, steady steps.

She works with issues related to relationships, intimacy, grief, trauma and abuse, and the strain that comes from career changes or caregiving. Other areas she supports include bereavement and end-of-life concerns, body image, feelings of emptiness, and patterns linked to attachment and personality difficulties.

Megan speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom. Her background as a lecturer means she often uses straightforward explanations and short exercises that fit into busy lives. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

Using person‑centred and mindfulness approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions. This approach suits people facing relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, grief and many life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple in-the-moment practices. It teaches breathing and attention skills to reduce stress and manage anxiety symptoms. These techniques can be brief exercises that fit into a busy day and support coping with difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early sessions. The counsellor and the person work together to decide what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. Adjustments can be made as progress continues so the plan fits the individual.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold fuller conversations, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text‑based messaging are useful for ongoing support between sessions or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
