About Megan
Counsellor Megan Clarke is BACP registered and has three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, LGBT issues, grief, parenting, and related concerns.
Megan uses a person-centred outlook. That means sessions focus on the client's own concerns and priorities. She asks whether you prefer goal-focused work or more open conversation, and adapts how she works to suit that preference.
She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help identify practical steps. This can be useful for tackling specific problems like sleeping difficulties, eating concerns, or work-related stress. Sessions may include small tasks or short-term goals when that fits the client.
Megan holds a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Keele and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Her three years of practice include supporting people with trauma recovery, relationship questions including non-monogamy, and long-term health issues.
Megan describes herself as sex-positive and kink-aware, and she works with LGBT clients without requiring explanations of identity or lifestyle. She also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, and bereavement.
People who want direct, practical sessions alongside open conversation may find her approach helpful. If you prefer, she will explain the counselling ideas she uses as you go. Confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Megan combines person-centred work with solution-focused techniques. Person-centred work means the counsellor follows the client's lead and focuses on what the client brings to the session. It helps when someone wants to talk things through and decide what matters most to them.Solution-focused work looks for small, practical steps and measurable goals. It can help with problems like sleep issues, coping with change, or reducing day-to-day anxiety by setting short tasks and checking progress.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how you like to work. Decisions about focusing on the past or the present, or using brief tasks, are made together.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a normal day and reducing travel time. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, avoid commuting, or choose whether to use video or not depending on what is agreed with the counsellor.
