Megan Rees is a qualified Holistic Counsellor, Child-centred Play Therapist and Art Therapist. For a decade Megan has worked extensively with Women, Children and Adolescents experiencing depression & anxiety, relationship issues, and grief and loss in community settings. Her combination of qualifications affords a rare and creative approach to her professional practice that is highly sought after.

While Megan is dedicated to the foundational philosophy of Child-centered Play Therapy as a way of gently and effectively supporting children through challenges, her extensive experience working with family in general adds considerable expertise. While Megan’s experience in Play Therapy is appropriate for children aged between 3-11, her experience as a qualified Art Therapist and Holistic Counsellor also enables her to engage with adolescents in a creative, progressive and assuring way.

Megan divides her time between client engagement and continuing professional development to ensure best practice. In 2014 she was accepted into an Intensive Play Therapy Program for practicing therapists at the internationally acclaimed Centre for Play Therapy at The University of North Texas. In addition to this, Megan has undertaken further study in Group Psychotherapy Leadership and facilitates Support Groups.

As a mother of adult children and with an extensive former career in the Performing Arts, Megan’s approach is creative, intuitive and empathic. Megan’ s personal interest in the creative and expressive arts also informs her professional philosophy. The combination of Megan’s vast life experiences and considerable skill set has positively shaped her approach to working with clients promoting confidence, empathy, healing and personal growth. Megan spends her leisure time painting and reading and enjoys hiking, camping and travel.
