Megan Clarke, BACP

Megan Clarke is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems and life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel approachable and practical for people under strain. Megan also works with issues such as grief, self-esteem, trauma, eating and sleeping difficulties, and concerns linked to ageing and geriatric issues.

Megan uses a person-centred way of working that places the client at the heart of decisions. She adapts each session to what the person needs that day, whether that means open conversation, focused questions, or short tasks to try between meetings. This style means sessions can feel collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Her practice draws on solution-focused ideas too, so conversations often move towards small, achievable steps. That can help when people want practical ways to cope with anxiety, manage low mood, or handle relationship tensions. The emphasis is usually on what can be done now and next, rather than getting stuck on every past detail.

Megan trained at the University of Keele where she completed a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is BACP registered, and has three years of clinical experience working with a range of emotional and interpersonal concerns.

She aims to offer a non-judgemental, sex-positive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming space. Sessions are shaped around each person’s values and preferences, and she will check in about goals and style as therapy progresses.

How Megan brings person-centred and solution-focused work online

Megan uses person-centred counselling to centre each session on what matters most to the client, listening closely and following the person's pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of identity, grief, or relationship questions.

She also draws on solution-focused methods that aim for small, practical steps. These short-term goals can be useful for managing anxiety, improving sleep habits, or finding ways to cope with life transitions and ageing-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Megan will collaborate with each person to decide whether more open, exploratory sessions or goal-focused meetings suit their aims. She checks in regularly and adjusts the style as needs and goals change.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can help fit counselling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins between other commitments. It can also make it easier to try different ways of working, such as shorter goal-focused meetings or longer exploratory conversations, depending on what suits a person's day-to-day life.
