Megan Smith

Megan Smith is a counsellor who draws on person-centred practice to create a calm, respectful space. She holds a Masters degree in person-centred counselling from Chester University and practises with seven years of experience. Her approach focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. Sessions are straightforward and person-focused rather than directive.

Megan blends person-centred work with mindfulness techniques to help people manage anxiety and stress. She uses simple mindfulness exercises to ground clients and then listens to what matters most to them. Her background includes a BPS accredited undergraduate degree in Psychology, which informs how she assesses and discusses presenting problems.

She has worked with adults across a wide age range on problems including anxiety, depression, bereavement, and addiction. Megan also has experience supporting people affected by childhood sexual abuse and pregnancy-related trauma. She describes these areas as particular interests and draws on long-term practice when addressing them.

As a lecturer in counselling and psychology, she has developed training and short courses, and she has completed an online and telephone counselling short course. Those roles contribute to her practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. She keeps conversations clear and uses everyday language.

People who come to Megan can expect a steady, non-judgemental presence and assistance in making sense of difficult experiences. She encourages small, manageable steps and works collaboratively with each person to set goals and review progress.
