Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then focus on committed action aligned with personal values - this approach can be useful for anxiety, stress and motivation difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work, with the therapist offering empathy and genuine presence so clients can explore identity, relationships and self-esteem concerns in a non-judgemental way. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple, practical ways to bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity, which can help with anxiety, depressive symptoms and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Megan works collaboratively with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. She also liaises with appropriately qualified or registered professionals when additional support is needed, helping to create a tailored plan that feels manageable and meaningful.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy lives and for those who prefer to meet remotely. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, access support from home or when travel is difficult, and continue work between appointments with the therapist’s guidance.
