About Megan
Megan Du Plessis is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after big life changes, and with people facing relationship strain, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression and issues around self‑esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans, and she works with international clients as well.
Megan begins by listening to understand what matters most to the client. Early sessions focus on clarifying the immediate problem, practical options and what a helpful next step might look like. She blends a person‑centred stance with active methods when needed, so conversations can be gentle or practical depending on the moment.
Her background includes work in addiction services and bereavement support. That experience informs a trauma‑aware way of working and an emphasis on avoiding re‑traumatisation. She uses a mix of approaches to match the person and the issue rather than relying on a single method.
Common approaches she draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and aspects of solution‑focused work. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship‑centred concerns. These are selected to fit the client's goals and comfort level.
Clients can expect a practical, conversational style that attends to feelings and to concrete next steps. Sessions use a subscription that may be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take steps that match their values. It can help when people feel stuck or uncertain about what matters next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with stressful life changes.
Client‑centred work means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client's pace, offering reflection and gentle guidance. This approach supports people who need space to make sense of new circumstances.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and revisit that choice as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and allowing sessions from different locations without travel. The original profile does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can be used for focused problem‑solving sessions, relationship conversations or ongoing support depending on what the client needs.
