About Megan
Megan King is a counsellor who aims to make the first step easier for people feeling overwhelmed. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship worries and LGBT-related concerns. Megan is a BACP member and brings a gentle, person-centred manner to sessions.
She follows a pluralistic way of working, which means she draws on different approaches to suit each person. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems and see new possibilities.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offers practical tools to notice difficult thoughts and act towards valued goals. Megan also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She adapts sessions to different needs by combining methods such as client-centred listening and elements of cognitive behavioural work.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. Her experience includes helping people with abandonment and attachment issues, body image, eating and food-related difficulties, addiction to certain relationship patterns like codependency, and the impacts of trauma and dissociation. She is mindful of working with people involved in BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture without judgement.
Sessions are available in English and are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Megan works from the United Kingdom and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the service.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Megan directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Megan’s approaches work online
Many of her sessions draw on Narrative Therapy, which helps people see problems as separate from themselves and rewrite their story in less painful ways. This can help with shame, relationship patterns and a sense of emptiness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while taking small steps towards what matters most to the person. ACT often suits people struggling with anxiety, avoidance or low mood.She also brings Attachment-Based ideas into the work, looking at how early relationships shape current patterns and helping people try out different ways of connecting. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk with each person about their needs and experiment with methods that feel useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls approximate face-to-face conversation where visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, emotional support between sessions and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
