Megan lists the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, among her professional credentials.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Megan often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on understanding links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and teaches practical techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions often begin with simple exercises to see what helps and then adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want flexible, brief contact between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
