Megan Smith

Megan Smith is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach alongside mindfulness techniques. She draws on seven years of practice to help people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and loss. Megan trained at Chester University where she completed a Masters in person-centred counselling, and she also has an undergraduate degree in psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society. In sessions she aims to listen without judgement and to follow each person’s pace. That means talking through what matters most to the client, noticing patterns, and using mindfulness to bring attention into the present. She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, grief and addictions, and supports those dealing with relationship pain and intimacy-related issues. Her background includes time teaching counselling and psychology at Glyndwr University and developing short courses in online and telephone counselling. She has experience with survivors of childhood sexual abuse and with pregnancy-related trauma and miscarriage. These areas are part of what she brings into her clinical focus. Megan also helps people working through career stress, midlife transitions and feelings of emptiness or shame. She supports LGBT clients and people coping with family strain or compassion fatigue. Her practice has dealt with a wide range of concerns including domestic violence, substance issues and divorce and separation. She works from a straightforward, conversational style. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and to build practical ways of coping with day-to-day difficulties. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the booking process.

How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor listens openly, follows what matters most to the client, and helps people explore their feelings at their own pace. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues and life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills that anchor someone in the present moment. It can help reduce rumination, ease anxiety and support coping after loss or trauma. Short exercises and guided attention practice are common tools used in sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest whether a client-centred style, mindfulness practice or a blend of both could help. That choice is made together and can be revisited as progress unfolds.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins during transitional periods. It also supports focused, shorter practices such as brief mindfulness exercises when time is limited, or fuller conversations when there is a longer slot available.
