About Megan

Megan Clarke is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports clients with issues around identity, grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

Megan practises from a person-centred and pluralistic perspective. That means she listens first and adapts how she works to suit each person. Sessions are collaborative and the client helps set the focus and pace.

She uses practical conversation and goal-focused ideas when helpful. Some people choose to work on short-term solutions while others want time to look at how past experiences are affecting their present. Megan checks in with clients about which direction they prefer and what is most useful right now.

Megan describes herself as sex-positive, kink-aware and LGBT affirming. She aims to make it straightforward for people to bring up identity, relationship styles or sexual concerns without needing to explain or defend them.

Her background includes a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Keele and three years of clinical work with adults. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and book an initial session to see how the approach fits.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Megan draws on person-centred ideas that focus on listening and responding to each person’s priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk things through and decide what matters most in their life right now.

She also uses solution-focused techniques which look at practical steps and small changes. Those ideas suit people who want brief, goal-oriented work for problems like anxiety, stress or relationship communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Megan will check what the client wants, discuss short and longer term options, and adjust methods as the work progresses. The conversation about approach is collaborative and revisited if priorities change.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Online therapy can help fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule workday or evening appointments. It also makes it simpler to work through relationship or identity topics from where you already are, while the therapist and client decide which practical methods suit best.
