Megan Wadsworth , BACP

Megan Wadsworth is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly about what is troubling them. She highlights practical strengths and small steps that make change feel possible.

Megan focuses on stress, anxiety and depression, and she supports people dealing with trauma and abuse. She also helps individuals navigating family conflict and worries about self-esteem and motivation. Women’s issues are a noted area of interest within her practice.

Her approach is grounded in attachment and psychodynamic ideas, which means she pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. She also uses trauma-focused methods to help people who have experienced abuse or assault work through painful memories at a safe pace.

With three years of professional experience and BACP registration, Megan combines listening with practical conversations about next steps. Sessions tend to be straightforward and paced to each person’s comfort. Clients are encouraged to set aims and review progress over time.

People who choose her can expect a respectful, down-to-earth style. She offers a mix of therapeutic thinking and useful coping strategies, helping people reclaim a sense of steadiness and purpose.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Megan draws on attachment-based work to help people understand how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This approach looks at patterns of connection and can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment struggles and relationship-related anxiety.

She also uses trauma-focused therapy to help people process painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Trauma-focused methods aim to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and build coping tools for flashbacks, dissociation or post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Megan works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts the work as needs change. Clients are invited to talk about what helps them most and to set practical aims together.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, chat lets clients type when that feels easier, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work from different locations.
