Megan Clarke, BACP

Megan Clarke offers straightforward, non-judgemental support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. She writes in plain language and aims to make therapy feel manageable. Megan is named up front so people know who they will be working with.

Megan uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s priorities first. Sessions are shaped around what the person brings each week, with the counsellor asking practical questions to clarify goals or next steps. She also uses solution-focused techniques to help people spot small changes that make a difference between sessions.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and has three years' experience. That experience includes helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, identity concerns and relationship difficulties, including non-monogamy and polyamory issues.

Megan is sex-positive, kink-aware and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and she aims to offer a space where people do not have to explain their identity or lifestyle. She also works with matters such as grief, intimacy concerns, sleeping and eating issues, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she will invite collaboration about how you want to work. She might offer tasks or keep things open-ended depending on your preference. The focus is practical: small, achievable steps and clearer ways to cope with everyday pressures.

To begin, she asks people to decide what they want from therapy and to be open about whether they would like goal-focused work or more open conversation. That discussion helps shape a plan that fits each person’s life and needs.

How Megan’s approaches work online

Megan uses a person-centred approach that keeps the focus on what matters to the person in front of her. This approach means she listens carefully, follows your lead and helps you find your own answers for issues like low mood, identity or relationship strain.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which looks for small, practical steps you can try between sessions. This method is useful for people who want clear goals and quick, manageable changes around stress, coping or day-to-day problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Megan will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide whether to emphasise person-centred exploration, goal-oriented tasks or a mix of both. The plan can change as you progress and is adjusted to what helps you most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit times with less bandwidth or when you prefer not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
