About Megan
Megan Du Plessis is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety and a wide range of life changes and mental health concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans and she accepts international clients.
Megan begins by listening and helping people clarify their situation. Early work focuses on understanding what matters to the client and what practical steps feel possible. She uses a person-centred style as a foundation and then brings in other methods as needed.
Her background includes work in addiction services where trauma-informed principles guided care. She has also supported people through bereavement using solution-focused approaches. These settings have shaped a practice that combines steady listening with concrete problem-solving tools.
Megan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking when these fit a person's goals. She also uses elements from the Gottman Method for relationship concerns and solution-focused techniques for short-term planning. Which approaches are used will depend on what the client wants to work on.
People come to her for help with blended family issues, parenting strain, coping with loss, low self-esteem, stress and addiction-related difficulties. In sessions she aims to help people identify manageable changes and practice new ways of responding to old patterns.
To begin a working relationship clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Megan uses therapeutic approaches online
Megan commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in session. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that fit those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-centred work emphasises listening, reflection and helping people find their own direction rather than giving advice.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy tools to help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT offers clear techniques such as activity planning and thought records that can be practised between sessions to track progress and build new habits.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, options and what feels manageable, and then adapt methods to suit the person. That choice can change as the work progresses and as new priorities emerge.
