Megan Clarke

Megan Clarke offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship strain. She works in a way that responds to each person, listening first and then shaping sessions around what feels most useful. Megan is BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Megan uses a person-centred and pluralistic approach to tailor therapy to each person. She asks whether clients want goal-focused work or a freer talking space, and whether to concentrate on the past or the present. Sessions may include practical tasks, gentle reflection, or straightforward problem-solving depending on what a person wants. She has three years of clinical experience and a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Keele. During that time she has supported people with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, identity questions and relationship difficulties. Megan is sex-positive, kink-aware and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and she says people will not need to explain or justify identity or lifestyle in sessions. Her additional focus areas include grief, chronic illness, parenting pressures, eating and sleeping concerns, and compassion fatigue. Practically, she works collaboratively at a pace each person finds manageable. New clients are invited to consider how they want to work and to set simple goals if that helps. The emphasis is on clarity and on small, achievable steps that fit everyday life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Megan draws on person-centred work to keep sessions grounded in the client’s experience. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and understanding so the person feels heard and able to shape the session. It is useful for issues like low self-worth, identity questions and grief.

She also uses solution-focused ideas to spot practical steps and small changes that help day-to-day. This approach narrows in on concrete goals and actions, which can suit stress, anxiety and relationship problems where people want clear tools.

Finding the right style is part of the therapeutic process. Megan works collaboratively to decide whether to lean more on person-centred exploration or on solution-focused planning. She will discuss goals, preferences and how you like to work so the approach fits you.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions simpler to attend if managing chronic illness or mobility issues, while still allowing the therapist and client to focus on practical steps and reflective conversation.
