Megan Du Plessis, BACP

Megan Du Plessis is a United Kingdom based therapist who offers a compassionate, person-centred approach tailored to each client. She creates a calm space for people to be heard and to explore their concerns, beginning with careful listening to help clarify situations, needs, and the choices available.

Megan adapts her work to fit what feels most supportive, drawing on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and compassion-focused methods when appropriate. Her practice emphasises a gentle, non-retraumatising style, informed by experience in addiction services and grief support. This background brings trauma-aware principles together with more solution-focused tools to meet a variety of needs.

She has supported clients through trauma and abuse, addiction, migration-related grief and loss, and difficulties with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Throughout the therapeutic process clients are treated with respect, sensitivity, and empathy, and sessions are shaped collaboratively to reflect individual circumstances and goals.

Megan holds BACP accreditation, indicating membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adherence to recognised professional standards. Taking the first step into therapy can feel challenging, and Megan aims to acknowledge that courage while helping clients move toward clearer, more manageable ways of living.

Approach-driven care delivered online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility. It supports work on difficult thoughts and feelings by encouraging small, values-led steps that can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing an empathetic, non-judgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach is useful for building self-understanding, confidence, and a stronger sense of what someone needs from relationships and life choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with motivation and coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Megan works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods best match each person’s goals, preferences, and current needs, adapting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. This range of options helps people access support from different locations and on schedules that suit their lives, while still engaging in focused, approach-driven work with a therapist.
