Approaches to trauma and client-centred online therapy
Megan offers client-centred work that focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. This approach means conversations are directed by what matters most to the individual, with the counsellor reflecting and helping clarify feelings and choices. It is useful for rebuilding a sense of self and improving everyday coping.She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past harm needs attention. Trauma-focused methods look at how difficult events affect thoughts, feelings and daily life, and aim to reduce their ongoing impact. This can help people who feel stuck by past experiences or who react strongly in certain situations.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The counsellor will talk through options and adapt methods to the person's needs, goals and preferences. Plans can change over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth work and visual connection, phone sessions can be a good option if bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat suits shorter check-ins or times when speaking feels difficult. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and daily commitments, and to access registered or accredited professionals from different locations.
