About Megan
Megan Du Plessis is a counsellor who focuses on helping men and others find steadiness through difficult times. She offers a listening ear and practical collaboration to help people make sense of their situation. Conversations start with understanding what matters to the client and what they hope to change.
Her style is grounded in client-centred work, which means she follows the person in the room and shapes sessions around their needs. Megan also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when these approaches look useful. She uses a gentle, non-retraumatising approach when working with people who have experienced trauma or loss.
Megan has five years of professional experience and has worked in addiction services and bereavement support. That background informs how she helps people cope with grief, addiction, migration-related loss, and motivation or self-esteem issues. Practical strategies and short-term goals are offered alongside space to process emotions.
She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, stress, relationship or intimacy concerns, and a wide range of other difficulties. Megan also has experience with neurodiversity, attachment issues, and complex care needs that can come with chronic illness or caregiving roles.
Sessions are conducted in English and Afrikaans, and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being led by them and focuses on actions that reflect personal values; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering empathic listening to build clarity and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns.Megan treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will listen to a person's goals and preferences, try different ways of working if needed, and adjust the focus as progress and priorities change. The aim is to find methods that feel useful and sustainable for each individual.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, making it easier to schedule sessions around work or caregiving, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to continue work with a therapist if circumstances change, while still allowing the same therapeutic approaches to be used over distance.
