Megan King, BACP

Megan King offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. She helps with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related issues. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to make it easy to talk about difficult feelings.

Megan is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years' experience working with adults. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, so meetings can be practical, reflective, or a mix of both depending on the situation.

She works from a pluralistic stance, combining a few approaches to suit the individual. That might mean using techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, drawing on Attachment-Based ideas about relationships, or taking a values-focused approach from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The emphasis is on finding what helps rather than following a single method.

Megan also pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, eating and body image concerns, codependency, dissociation, and family of origin matters. She is comfortable talking about alternative sex culture, including BDSM and kink, and can help people navigate those conversations without judgement.

Sessions can be offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People are invited to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that fit their life and needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck because it focuses on action rather than perfect thinking.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and helps replace them with more balanced ways of responding. It often includes practical exercises to try between sessions and can help with anxiety, stress and depression.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current ones and helps people build safer, more trusting ways of relating. This can be helpful for attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns and relationship communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use and will adapt tactics as needs and goals change. The process is practical and tailored rather than fixed, with the client involved in choosing priorities.

Online sessions offer flexibility and more ways to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and work well for deeper therapeutic work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when seeing someone on camera is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging suits short check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to maintain contact and keep progress moving between meetings.
