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 on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self‑esteem, stress, anxiety, addiction and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans and she accepts international clients.
Megan begins by listening closely to what matters to the client. Early sessions focus on clarifying the situation, identifying immediate worries, and mapping practical options. She uses a person-centred way of working while also drawing on cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas when helpful.
Her background includes work in addiction services and bereavement support, so she often combines trauma-informed thinking with solution-focused tools. That means sessions may include practical steps for coping between appointments, ways to notice unhelpful patterns, and experiments to try out new responses to difficult feelings.
Megan describes her approach as gentle and non-retraumatising. She aims to reduce overwhelming reactions and to build small, manageable changes. This can be useful for people who lose their temper with partners or colleagues, struggle with growing resentment, or live with someone else’s strong emotions.
Practical matters such as fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the platform’s online options.
Megan keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. Conversations are paced to the client’s comfort and often include concrete steps to try between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Megan commonly uses person-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and helping people identify what matters to them, which can make it easier to name patterns that lead to anger. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical strategies to test in real life. ACT encourages noticing difficult emotions without being driven by them and helps people choose actions that match their values.Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Megan works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a client's goals and preferences. That means techniques may be tried, reviewed, and adjusted together rather than fixed from the start.
