Megan du Plessis

I am currently mostly working online with some availability face to face. Sessions are paid 24 hours in advance .

 Sessions are usually online offered in blocks of 6. The whole block can be paid for in advance for the reduced fee of £198. Blocks can be extended indefinitely according to need after every 6 weekly review.

Sessions last for approximately 1 hour weekly at a mutually agreed time.

If you are unable to attend, please contact me at least 24 hours prior to the session. 

Sessions can be spread out fortnightly. 

Do you need someone to hear you? You are unique with a story that deserves to be heard by someone. Each unique story has a unique conclusion. I will explore your story with you and help you gain perspective on your own life bringing you closer to accepting, loving and understanding yourself better so that you can make life choices that will bring you closer to living the life most suited to you.

I am predominantly person-centred but will take an individual approach tailoring sessions to your needs by incorporating elements from other modalities like CBT, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and others. 

My aim is to help you be your authentic self and live and cope with the confusion and challenges of the modern world. Everyone has worth and a role to play in the world, be it big or small. Together we can find what role you need to play to have better days.

The core of my practice is person-centred allowing you to talk freely and explore your experiences and options without restraint in a calm non-judgemental environment. Once we have established a rapport we can use elements from other modalities like CBT, Compassion Focussed Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to help you find closure, answers, and calm creating a therapy experience that will be unique to you and your needs. I can help you work through any areas of your life that are making you unhappy and having an impact on your self-esteem, self-worth, and relationships. 

I have a special interest in periods of change and transition and the accompanying traumas. These changes can be life stages, migration and cultural adaptation, relationships, changing perceptions of identity, faith issues, accepting neurodivergence  and loss among many others. I work with people struggling with these issues themselves and also with affected family members. 

I have also worked with couples talking through relationship issues. I can't 'fix' a relationship, but I can facilitate better communication so that couples can make better and more informed decisions regarding their future that offers both parties better outcomes in the long term

Therapy is delivered in 6 session blocks with a review in session 6 where we decide on the next steps. You can continue 6 session blocks for as long as you wish. Couples usually take 12 weeks to get to a point of meaningful change.

You will be sent a copy of the contract , additional information about counselling and a short assessment regarding medication, relevant health conditions etc. prior to the first session. 

We will go through the contract before you disclose any confidential information which you do not need to commit to until the end of the session.

We will then discuss your situation looking at what your needs are and what you want to get out of the experience.
