About Megan

Megan Clarke is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and life changes. She offers a warm, non-judgemental presence and aims to make each session feel practical and down to earth. People come to her for help with low mood, grief, identity questions, intimacy and the fallout from trauma and abuse.

With three years' counselling experience, Megan uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's priorities front and centre. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help people set short-term goals and notice what is already helping. Sessions are collaborative - Megan asks about preferences, whether to focus on the past or present, and how much structure the client wants.

She holds a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Keele and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a flexible, respectful style rather than a single fixed method. Megan aims to meet people where they are and adapt therapy to each person’s needs.

Megan describes herself as sex-positive and kink-aware, and she states she is LGBTQIA+ affirming. She says clients do not need to explain their identity or lifestyle to be heard. This approach supports conversations about intimacy, non-monogamy, body image and relationship boundaries.

If someone is coping with chronic illness, eating issues, parenting strain, or career stress, Megan combines compassionate listening with practical steps. The emphasis is on finding manageable changes and clearer ways to handle difficult feelings and decisions.

How Megan’s approaches work online

Megan commonly uses client-centred work and solution-focused techniques. Client-Centred Therapy involves listening without judgement and following the client's lead to help them feel understood and clearer about their needs. It is useful for issues such as low mood, identity questions and relationship worries.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move a person towards their goals. It can be helpful for stress, coping with life transitions, and finding immediate ways to improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Megan will work together with each person to decide what feels most useful. She asks about preferences for structure, whether to focus on the past or present, and whether the client wants tasks between sessions. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed plan.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy week, makes it easier to keep continuity during life changes, and allows shorter check-ins when time is limited. Talk with the therapist during matching to choose the arrangement that best suits practical needs and personal comfort.
