Megan Clarke , BACP

Megan Clarke is a BACP counsellor who focuses on women's issues, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around individual needs so people can talk through what’s hard and work towards practical change.

Megan uses a person-centred outlook, which means the conversation follows the client’s priorities and pace. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help set clear, achievable steps between sessions. This mix is useful for stress, low mood, difficult life changes and relationship worries.

She has a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Keele and three years of practice supporting people with trauma, self-esteem, identity and eating-related concerns. Her BACP registration is noted as BACP. Megan is sex-positive, kink-aware and LGBTQIA+ affirming, so people can bring identity or intimacy questions without needing to explain themselves.

In practical terms she will explore whether you want goal-based work or more open-ended talking. She might offer brief tasks, questions to try between meetings, or space to reflect on past and present experiences. The emphasis is on collaboration and finding what helps you move forward.

People often seek her help for grief, parenting strain, chronic illness, compassion fatigue and communication difficulties. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm, clarify priorities and build simple strategies to manage day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Megan draws on person-centred and solution-focused ways of working. Person-centred work means sessions follow what the client brings and value is placed on being listened to. This approach helps when someone needs space to understand feelings, identity or relationship questions.

Solution-focused work aims to identify small, practical steps that move things forward. It is task-oriented and useful for managing stress, day-to-day coping and setting short-term goals. Together these approaches balance open listening with concrete actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor sessions together. That means the plan can change over time as needs change, and the client helps shape how sessions run.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth needs, and chat or messaging can suit quick reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible for work, family life and unpredictable schedules, and give different ways to engage depending on the moment.
