Megan Du Plessis , BACP

Megan Du Plessis is a UK-based therapist with five years of clinical experience who works from a person-centered stance, tailoring care to what each client finds most supportive. She emphasizes careful listening at the outset, helping people to clarify their situation, identify needs, and consider practical options before moving into active work together.

Over time Megan may integrate techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and compassion-focused approaches to suit individual goals and comfort levels. Her practice is informed by trauma-aware principles developed while working in addiction services, and she also draws on solution-focused methods when supporting people through bereavement and life transitions. This range of experience provides flexible tools to address issues such as trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, self-esteem struggles, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.

Megan brings sensitivity and respect to work with complex and diverse needs, including adoption and foster care matters, attachment and intimacy-related concerns, neurodiversity, and caregiving stress. She communicates in English and Afrikaans and holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Throughout the process she aims for a gentle, non-retraumatising approach that centers each person’s values and pace.
