Megan Smith , NCPS

Megan Smith is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach and mindfulness to help people facing difficult life moments. She holds a Masters degree in person-centred counselling from Chester University and practises with an NCPS accreditation. Megan writes and teaches about counselling as a Lecturer in Counselling and Psychology at Glyndwr University.

Megan has seven years of practice experience offering one-to-one support to adults. She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and relationship issues. She also supports people dealing with addiction and trauma and offers care around intimate and women’s issues.

Her background in psychology informs how she listens and asks questions. Megan aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on the person’s own experience and what they want to change or understand.

Megan uses mindfulness exercises to help people notice and manage strong feelings in the moment. She pairs this with a person-centred style that follows the client’s pace and priorities. This combination can help with stress, low mood, self‑esteem and coping with life changes.

In practice she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Megan works from the United Kingdom and provides therapy in English.

Person-centred and mindfulness approaches for online counselling

Megan draws on person-centred counselling to follow what matters most to each person. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers. It can be useful for relationship concerns, self‑esteem and coping with life changes.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without overreacting. Mindfulness exercises can support anxiety management, stress reduction and better emotional regulation during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as things progress.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone calls suit those who prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, brief reflections or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and to keep continuity between sessions.
