About me
Hi, I'm Megan, a counsellor and integrative psychotherapist. Life can throw unexpected difficulties in our direction at any time, and things can get tough, making you feel anxious, fearful, sad, trapped or alone. Facing challenges and contemplating changes ahead can heighten stress levels or leave you feeling like you are falling apart.
Picking Up The Pieces can help you find the missing pieces and put yourself back together. We work with trauma, loss and adjustment. We provide short or long-term therapy along with single-session therapy. And specialise in working with those in mental health crisis, along with navigating trauma or bereavement of self or another. We are here to help you understand your situation, work through your choices, and find ways forward to regain control and achieve a happier you.
You may not have tried talking therapies before when situations are stressful. Or find it possible to talk to close family or friends about dilemmas you face or how you are really feeling. This is where counselling and psychotherapy can be helpful to you. Picking Up The Pieces can provide a safe and non-judgemental space away from normal hectic life or responsibilities, where we concentrate just on you. You will feel heard and supported and have a safe space to work through life challenges with warmth and respect from someone who is not emotionally involved.
We work online or face-to-face at various locations across Cornwall, Devon, UK and internationally. We offer home visits in the local community by prior arrangement for housebound individuals, those in treatment, and the elderly. If you want to find those missing pieces, feel broken and want to put yourself back together again...contact Picking Up The Pieces today - why wait?
I am a qualified and registered counsellor & psychotherapist with over 24 years of experience supporting others with their emotional and psychological well-being across a variety of settings, including the NHS, Private and Voluntary Sectors.
I am passionate about supporting those going through transitional states whilst adjusting to life challenges or difficulties. I can be by your side if you are falling apart or things are going wrong, and at your own pace, in what may work for you, as everyone is unique.
I offer a confidential and personalised therapy that is tailored to you by integrating many models and techniques. To help you to understand areas that are holding you back and find effective ways to move forward whilst working holistically. And I appreciate in you reading my profile, that things are not how you want them to be at the moment, and you may be searching for ways forward that could work for you.
Why not take those first steps to make those positive changes and let Picking Up The Pieces support you?
I work with those experiencing many life hurdles that are affecting their well-being. I specialise in loss, adjustment and trauma issues, whether these be within self, others or circumstances. I have extensive professional experience supporting others experiencing enduring MH issues, i.e. PTSD, DID and PD. Along with supporting others experiencing mental health crisis or suicidal ideation, chronic disabilities, diagnosis or life-limiting illness. I also have a keen interest in supporting others with ASD and Learning Difficulties, carers and family members. Along with those working within the Creative Industries, such as Musicians, Actors, Filmmakers, Performers, Presenters, Authors, Operational, Technical, Pre-production staff or marketeers.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
