About Megan

Megan Clarke is a counsellor who focuses on helping people struggling with sleep, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. She offers a calm, non-judgemental approach and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Parents reading on a phone will find her language direct and easy to follow.

Megan uses a person-centred way of working, which means she listens closely and responds to what each person needs. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help people spot small, useful changes and build on them. Sessions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

She is BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Megan completed a Master's in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Keele and has three years' professional experience. That background informs how she supports people with stress, grief, identity questions and relationship concerns.

Megan is sex-positive, kink-aware, and LGBTQIA+ affirming, so people do not need to explain or defend their identity or lifestyle. She works with issues such as trauma and abuse recovery, self-esteem, eating and food-related issues, and chronic health problems alongside mental health difficulties.

In sessions she will check what you want to get from counselling. That might mean setting goals, talking freely, trying short tasks, or focusing on the present. The aim is to find an approach that fits you and helps with sleep, coping and everyday stresses.

How Megan's approaches translate to online counselling

Megan uses person-centred and solution-focused ways of working that fit well with online sessions. Person-centred counselling means the session follows your concerns and feelings; the counsellor reflects and responds so you feel heard. This approach helps when people want space to think through identity, relationships or emotional pain. Solution-focused work focuses on small, practical changes and goals. It involves noticing what already works and trying short experiments that can improve sleep, coping and daily routines. This can be useful for stress, anxiety, and finding ways to break unhelpful patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose tools that suit them. That choice is made together so the plan feels manageable and relevant to everyday life. Please confirm available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also let someone avoid being on camera if that feels better, or choose a simpler audio conversation when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to help sessions fit practical needs rather than require major life changes.
