About Megan

Megan Du Plessis is a UK-licensed therapist who combines close listening with practical therapeutic tools to help people find clarity and direction. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and shapes her work around what feels most supportive for each individual. In early sessions she focuses on hearing the full story and helping clients to understand their situation, needs, and possible options. Over time she may draw on elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and compassion-focused techniques, adapting interventions to fit each person’s goals and comfort level.

She practices with a gentle, non-retraumatising stance, informed by experience in addiction services where trauma-aware principles guide the work, and by supporting people through bereavement with solution-focused methods. That blend of approaches offers a range of practical tools to help people move toward a better place. Megan has worked with individuals affected by trauma and abuse, addiction, migration grief and loss, and challenges around motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She meets every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and collaborates to shape conversations and a treatment plan around unique needs. Megan acknowledges the courage involved in beginning therapy and honours the step of reaching out for support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment in which the person’s own perspective guides the work. This approach supports self-exploration, confidence building, and relationship concerns by prioritising the client’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical strategies for conditions such as anxiety, low mood, stress, and motivational difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages acceptance of difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - a useful fit for people coping with life changes, ongoing stress, or persistent emotional pain.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different methods to suit each person. Megan will work collaboratively to determine which approaches best match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as the relationship and work progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to access support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, to continue work across distances, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still allowing therapists to use the same evidence-informed approaches they would in person.
