Do you need someone to listen and understand? Thank you for sharing information about yourself. I'm happy that you reached out for help. I am Megan du Plessis, a licensed therapist in the UK. My approach is predominately person centred tailored to your needs. Imagine being safe, heard and understood; I strive to provide that space! Initially I will mostly listen helping you to get clarity in your own mind regarding your situation, your needs and your options. As we get to know each other we may use elements of CBT, Compassion Focussed Therapy and other approaches according to your needs. It is a scary process, but I believe in a gentle approach that does not retraumatised. I have worked in addiction within a Trauma Informed approach and bereavement with a more Solution Focussed approach giving us a lot of scope to lead you to be in a better place. I am licensed in the UK with experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. You will be treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Together we will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and you have done well and can be proud of yourself for getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Megan is outstanding! I would recommend her to anyone!
I so look forward to my sessions with Megan. I feel heard and understood and it is greatly helping on my journey. Megan is great and I’m very grateful to her.
Megan is just amazing! Always enjoy our sessions.
I've been working with Megan for a few weeks and she is truly fantastic She listens and gives the support I need. She will ask the right questions for me to answer my own problems. She shows a lot of care and compassion
I have had the privilege of working with Megan as my therapist, and she has truly been a beacon of hope during some of my most challenging times. Megan has a remarkable ability to help me see things from different perspectives, offering non-judgmental support and insightful advice that have been invaluable in my journey toward healing. Her coping mechanisms for dealing with anxiety and sadness have made a significant difference in my daily life. Each session with Megan is something I eagerly look forward to. She creates a safe and comfortable environment where I feel completely at ease being myself. Her warmth and genuine care shine through in every interaction, making it easy to open up and work through my emotions. I cannot recommend Megan’s services highly enough to anyone in need of support during tough times. She is an exceptional therapist who has made a profound impact on my life, and I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and compassion.
Megan is wonderful, she makes you feel comfortable to share and is compassionate in her approach. I highly recommend
My therapy experience led by Megan has been amazing. In 2 months I have felt most of my anger issues have been addressed and processed. I have gained new tools that I can use to work through my emotions in a healthy way. I have learned to express myself more honestly and clearly to the people around me, which strengthened my relationships with them. Megan helped me to see things in a new light and a fresh perspective. She helped me ask the right questions and then helped me ground myself after exploring the unknown. Thank you for changing my life. I highly recommend her.
Thanks Megan, I feel as though I got what I needed out of our sessions. Having a fresh perspective from a professional who knows how to ask the right questions and push me to my own conclusions has helped me immensely. I was always skeptical about the whole "the answers are within you already" line.. but I truly believe this to be the case now. It just takes a helping hand.
