Megan Clarke, BACP

Megan Clarke is a BACP counsellor who aims to make therapy feel straightforward and practical. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Her style is warm and curious, and she focuses on understanding each person's needs before deciding what to try together.

Megan uses an adaptable, person-centred way of working that starts with listening. She asks what the client wants from counselling and whether they prefer open conversation, set tasks, or goal-focused sessions. This helps shape sessions around what actually helps day to day.

Her background includes a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Keele and three years of practice supporting people through trauma, self-esteem struggles, disordered eating, and long-term health issues. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Megan brings a sex-positive and kink-aware attitude to sessions, and she affirms LGBTQIA+ identities. She aims to avoid assumptions and allows people to explain their own experiences at their pace.

In practical terms she will work collaboratively to set the shape of therapy. That may mean short-term goal work in some cases or a more open, exploratory process in others. The overall aim is to find approaches that fit the person, their life, and the issues they are facing.

How her approaches shape online counselling

Megan uses client-centred practice to focus on the person's own view of their difficulties. That means sessions begin with listening and understanding what the client wants to work on, whether that is anxiety, relationship struggles, or coping with a long-term health condition.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which looks for small, practical steps that can make a difference. This approach is useful when someone wants short-term, goal-oriented work or clear actions to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferred ways of working, and what feels most useful, and then recommend approaches to try together. Plans can change as the work progresses, and adjustments are made based on what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and offer options for different kinds of conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and focus of sessions to suit your day-to-day needs.
