Megan Crouchman

I currently have availability for individual supervision, online or face-to-face in Chelmsford.

I offer supervision at a reduced fee while completing my supervision training with The Grove Practice.

Please contact me to arrange an introductory conversation to discuss your supervision needs and availability.

I am a BACP Accredited Psychodynamic Counsellor with many years of experience working with adults across NHS and private practice settings. I am currently completing my supervision training with The Grove Practice.

My clinical experience includes working with loss and bereavement, physical health and life-changing conditions, relationships and the challenges people encounter during significant life changes. I have worked across acute healthcare, specialist bereavement services, EAPs and private practice.

I have experience of working individually, with couples and in groups. My professional background also includes clinical social work in health settings in Australia and the UK.

My approach is informed by psychodynamic thinking and group analytic principles, alongside the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision. This offers a framework for thinking about different aspects of the supervisory process, including the client, the therapeutic relationship, the supervisee's experience and responses, and the wider context in which the work takes place.

I am interested in what happens within the therapeutic relationship, the patterns that may emerge in the work, and how our own responses can help us understand something about the client and the therapeutic process.

I offer space to think openly about the work, including uncertainty, difficulties and moments when you feel stuck. We can explore relational and unconscious processes alongside the practical, ethical and organisational contexts in which you work.

I see supervision as an opportunity to develop understanding of the work, consider different perspectives and reflect on our responsibilities to clients. I aim to offer a balance of support and challenge, with room for curiosity, questioning and reflection.

I offer an initial conversation to discuss what you are looking for from supervision, your experience and the context in which you work. It is also an opportunity for me to explain my approach and for us to consider whether we might work well together.

If we decide to proceed, we will agree a supervision contract setting out the practical arrangements and our respective responsibilities, including confidentiality, record keeping, cancellations and regular review.

I offer flexible times around traditional 'office hours' as well as day time appointments.

If you require an early morning appointment please do enquire, these slots fill quickly.

Something keeps happening. The same argument. The same feeling at the end of another difficult week. The same version of yourself, showing up again, even when you were sure you'd left it behind. You can see the pattern clearly enough. You just can't seem to stop it.

That's usually when people find their way here.

I'm a BACP Accredited Psychodynamic Counsellor with more than 20 years of experience working with adults and couples. I work in a healthcare setting and in private practice, and I offer both short-term and longer-term work. What I do is less about managing what's on the surface, and more about understanding what's driving it.

Much of my work sits at the intersection of loss, identity, and relationship. 

Relationship and relational patterns: The repeated dynamic. The communication that breaks down in the same place every time. The relationship that has gradually become something unrecognisable, or the version of yourself you've lost track of.

Identity, self-esteem, and life transitions: Particularly for people who function well outwardly and feel something missing inwardly. Long-term anxiety, depression, and difficulty that accumulates quietly over time.

Childlessness and reproductive loss: The children you hoped for and didn't have. The pregnancy that ended quietly while the world kept moving. These are losses that don't always have funerals, that the people around you may not know how to hold. I work with people navigating infertility, pregnancy or baby loss, and childlessness not by choice. Whether that's a grief still waiting to be named, or feelings of anger, shame, or isolation carried privately.

Childfree by choice: The complexity, the social pressure, the moments of certainty or doubt. I work with people who have chosen not to have children and want space to think without being talked out of it or reassured into it.

For Couples. I work with couples who want to understand what keeps happening between them. Not just how to communicate differently, but what each person brings to the dynamic and why.  Including couples navigating issues of loss, identity and major life transitions.

How I work. Together we may think about relationships, emotional patterns, early experiences, and ways of relating that may once have been protective but now feel painful or stuck. I work relationally and take seriously what happens between us in the room. I'm interested in understanding why you keep finding yourself here, not just in managing it better. Short-term therapy suits people navigating a specific issue. Longer-term work is for people who want to understand the pattern rather than just interrupt it.

I offer a free initial consultation. This is a chance to think together about what brings you to therapy, what you're hoping for, and whether working together feels like the right fit. There's no obligation to proceed, and you're welcome to take time to decide. You can contact me directly to arrange this.
