Megan Smith

Megan Smith is a counsellor who uses client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people through difficult transitions. She trained at Chester University and holds a Masters degree in person-centred counselling. Megan also has an undergraduate degree in psychology that informs how she listens and responds.

She focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety and depression. She helps with relationship concerns, intimacy issues and career worries. Grief and hospice and end-of-life counselling are also listed among her areas of focus.

Megan has seven years of practice experience and has worked with adults across a wide age range. Her past work has included supporting people with bereavement, addiction, trauma and pregnancy-related trauma. She has particular interest in supporting people who experienced childhood sexual abuse.

She has delivered online and telephone counselling training and created a short course for Glyndwr University, where she works as a lecturer in counselling and psychology. That teaching work informs how she explains ideas and structures sessions.

In sessions she aims to listen without judgement and to help people notice what matters to them. She often uses mindfulness to slow things down and client-centred conversation to follow the person’s pace. People can expect a calm, straightforward approach that focuses on small, practical steps.

Client-centred and mindfulness approaches for online care

Megan uses client-centred counselling, which means the conversation follows what the person brings and the counsellor reflects and listens to help clarify feelings. This approach suits people who want space to talk things through and reach their own conclusions.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts, bodily tensions and present-moment experience. Mindfulness work can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and for coping with grief or difficult memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will ask about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt sessions over time. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can help find a practical rhythm that fits into everyday routines.
