About Megan
Megan Du Plessis offers calm, attentive support for people facing difficult life moments. She introduces herself warmly and listens first to understand what matters to each person. Her approach aims to help people find clarity on their needs and next steps in a gentle, respectful way.
In sessions she begins by hearing your story and helping you name the issues you want to work on. Megan works mainly using a client-centred way of working and adapts other methods to suit your goals. That can include drawing on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, or acceptance and commitment techniques to build values-driven action.
Her background includes time in addiction services, where she used trauma-informed principles, and work supporting people through bereavement with a solution-focused style. Those experiences inform how she helps people manage grief, stress, anxiety and difficulties linked to trauma and abuse.
Megan also supports people dealing with relationship strain, self-esteem problems, parenting pressures and challenges connected to adoption and foster care. She is familiar with a wide range of issues including depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD and caregiving stress.
She has five years’ experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans, and international clients are accepted. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
How Megan’s approaches translate to online work
Megan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the conversation on the person in front of her and prioritises listening, empathy and collaboration. This approach suits people who need a steady, non-judgemental space to make sense of difficult feelings.
Finally, she adapts Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, then practises small experiments to change them. CBT tools can be practical for sleep difficulties, anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, and then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and options can be adjusted over time.
If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - for example a shorter check-in during a break, or avoiding travel time. It also lets people work with registered or accredited professionals across locations when that suits their circumstances.
