About Megan
Megan Du Plessis offers a calm, listening presence for people facing big life stresses. She helps individuals who feel overwhelmed by grief, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction, or shifts in identity. Her style is gentle and straightforward, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood from the first meeting.
Megan begins by listening closely to each person's story. Early sessions focus on making sense of the problem, identifying priorities, and deciding what a useful next step might look like. She adapts what she does to each person, drawing on different methods rather than using the same plan for everyone.
Her background includes work in addiction services and supporting people through bereavement. Those roles influenced the trauma-aware, non-retraumatising tone she brings to sessions. She also uses structured techniques when helpful to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Megan practises approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy, and she may use elements of the Gottman Method and psychodynamic ideas when relevant. These approaches give options for tackling relationship problems, anxiety, and unprocessed loss.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has five years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. Sessions are available in English and Afrikaans, and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and book sessions based on therapist availability.
Therapy approaches you can use online
Megan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify what matters most so they can act in line with their values. Client-Centred Therapy is another core strand, where the focus is on offering empathic listening and reflecting what the client says so they can find clarity and self-direction. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Megan treats it as a collaboration: she listens to your goals and tries different techniques to see what fits. Together you can adjust the balance of listening, practical skills and relationship work as needs change.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care if they are living abroad, since she accepts international clients.
