About Me
Hi! I'm Megan, a person-centred therapist. I use they/she pronouns.
​
I aim to provide a space where clients can be, and become, themselves. To this end, you can expect me to be honest, warm, and committed to understanding you and your process.
​
I identify as queer, asexual and non-binary. I am also White, abled, straight-sized and middle-class.
My background
Throughout my life, I have wanted to make the world a better place for vulnerable and marginalised people. I studied Politics and Philosophy in my undergrad degree, with a view to working in journalism, the civil service, or the third sector.
​
I then began working in homelessness services and realised that I really wanted to work with people - not policy! So I decided to train as a counsellor.
​
I now hold a master's degree in person-centred experiential counselling and psychotherapy from the University of Nottingham. I am also an accredited registrant member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I have hundreds of hours' experience of supporting people from all walks of life. And I am committed to continue learning and growing in my practice.
​
I still take an active interest in the 'bigger picture' of what brings people to therapy. As a result, I do my best to uphold anti-oppressive practices both in and out of work.
My areas of interest
I am qualified to work with anyone over the age of 18. Although, if I feel I don't have the right knowledge to support you, I will signpost you towards someone who does.
​
Due to my lived experience as a queer, asexual and non-binary person, I am especially committed to providing a safe space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether you want to explore your experience of sexuality and gender in therapy, or you are attending for different reasons, I am committed to seeing your full self.
​
I have a variety of professional and personal experience with neurodivergence, chronic illness and disability. I feel strongly that spaces which affirm and support neurodivergent and disabled people are better for everyone. Because of this, I am always trying to learn more about how I can improve my practice in this area.
I am also interested in trauma and how it affects our physiology. I am currently pursuing a Level 5 qualification in trauma-informed therapy, which focuses on bottom-up, somatic approaches.
