Hello and a warm welcome to my profile!
My name is Megan (she/her) and Im a qualified (MBACP) person-centred counsellor based in the Southside of Glasgow, Scotland. I have experience working with a wide range of clients, supporting them through difficult life events and personal circumstances, including anxiety, depression, bereavement, sexuality, gender, and relationship issues.
About me and my practice
My main area of expertise is supporting those who have experienced a wide range of complex trauma. Helping them to overcome the long-term physical, emotional and mental side-effects that come from prolonged trauma. I also have experience working closely with individuals who have a neurodiversity such as autism, ADHD, dyscalculia & dyslexia (pre & post diagnosis), as well as those who are at crisis point and struggling with suicidal ideation, intent, and self-harm.
My approach to therapy
If you are new to therapy - it can often be a bit confusing as to what a therapist can offer and make sense of the various modalities. As a person-centred therapist, I work with clients of any gender, race, sexuality, background, or religion, as well as neurodivergence and disability. I offer an inclusive, confidential and judgement free space in which I encourage clients to express themselves and share whatever is weighing on their minds.
Whilst I recognise that diagnoses and labels can be helpful, they may not provide us with all the answers we are looking for. I can offer a holistic alternative when we may feel we are still searching for meaning in our lives and help you to arrive at a greater understanding of yourself, your relationships and life.
The person-centred approach is one that puts client autonomy and empowerment at the forefront. I believe that we are all unique and therefore, the expert on ourselves. If a space of warmth, acceptance and respect is upheld within therapy - I believe that we can all be trusted to find our own way through our problems and life challenges. As such, I do not offer 'advice' or 'analysis' on how best to live your life, or provide you with the 'solutions' to your problems. Rather, I can offer a safe, supportive, yet challenging space for self-exploration to be alongside you throughout your journey in therapy and help you arrive at your own solutions.
Throughout this process, I may share with you my observations and relevant psycho-educat
Experience
