About Megan

She supports people exploring grief, trauma, addiction, mood concerns and issues with self-esteem and intimacy.

Megan works in English and Hindi and practises from the United Kingdom. Megan brings eight years of direct counselling experience to her work. She focuses on building a respectful, warm relationship and pays attention to cultural differences that shape people's lives.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct and practical while still allowing time to sort through feelings. Her approach draws from several well-known therapies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult thoughts while taking steps that match their values.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot patterns in thinking and try simple experiments to change them. Attachment-based ideas inform work on closeness, trust and relationship patterns. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals.
Megan aims to meet people where they are and agree on small, realistic steps to try between meetings. She blends insight work with practical strategies so people notice change sooner. People who prefer digital options can work with her remotely.
She offers consultations in ways that suit different schedules and needs. If someone wants support with parenting, relationship strains or stress, Megan offers a steady, respectful space to begin that work.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, parenting stress and motivation problems.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of behaving. It is practical and action-oriented, useful for sleep problems, mood changes, anxiety and coping with life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and trust. It can support work on intimacy-related issues, communication problems and family dynamics.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try approaches and adjust them based on what feels most useful and realistic for the client.
Online therapy makes those same methods accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options help fit therapy around work, parenting and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
