About Megan

Megan Du Plessis is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain. She listens first and helps clients find clear, manageable steps forward. Her style aims to be warm and straightforward so people can talk about difficult things without feeling judged.

Background and approach

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas when exploring how past experiences affect present feelings. Her background includes five years of clinical experience and work in addiction services, where she learned to use trauma-informed approaches. That experience means she can support people dealing with trauma, addiction, bereavement, and the stresses that come with major life changes.

She also helps with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, sleep problems, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Megan holds BACP accreditation, listed as BACP, and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She offers sessions in English and Afrikaans.

Conversations are shaped around each person's goals, pace, and comfort level. Many clients find practical tools helpful, so sessions often include simple exercises to practise between meetings. Megan encourages people to try approaches that match their needs and to review progress together as therapy continues.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match your values; it can help with anxiety, low mood, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical techniques to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits. Client-Centred Therapy offers a supportive, non-judgemental space where the counsellor follows your lead and helps you find your own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will discuss options with you and try methods that suit your goals and comfort level. That means sessions are collaborative and adjusted as progress is reviewed, so you shape what happens as much as the counsellor does.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be easier when you need lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Text-based options and live chat suit people who prefer written reflection or want to fit support into a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going around work, travel, or family commitments while using therapeutic techniques together.
