Willow Tree Counselling

Megan’s name came highly recommended from my work community for dealing with grief, trauma, and other concerns. She has been enormously helpful every time I’ve seen her, from dealing with relationship issues to recovering from a traumatic event in my life.
Like the other reviewer, I had sought out other counselling in the past and found I had the most positive relationship with Megan and also received the most practical and useful strategies from her. It’s unfortunate what the other reviewer said, as I can see how important giving quality care is to Megan’s practice, as she gives a feedback form after each visit.
I’ve found her care to be incredibly personal and warm. Even when it was years after we connected, she remembered me and what we had talked about. Her support has helped empower me at a time when I wasn’t sure where to even start. I’m so appreciative of Megan’s care.

Megan has been an unbelievable support to me for about a year now and I truly believe is responsible for helping me through the grief of my sister’s death. When my sister was given a few short month to live after her cancer spread, I sought out anticipatory grief counseling and Willow Tree Counseling came up. I have been working with her for months and now that my sister is gone she is helping me work through the incredible grief I’m experiencing.
I wanted to post a review in contrast to the previous one because I really feel like out of a handful of counsellors that I’ve seen that’s I’ve really felt the strongest connection and had the most help from Megan. She doesn’t write notes while you are in session, but that has never been an issue for me. She has always remembered our previous sessions and I know she records notes of her sessions after the hour is over. She also provides a feedback form after every session that gives the client an opportunity to provide thoughts on various aspects of her counseling.
I feel badly for the other reviewer who had a poor experience but I wanted to come on here and provide a different perspective. Without Megan’s guidance and support over the last year my grief journey would have been far harder and more detrimental to my wellbeing. I am beyond grateful to work with her on my problems. She is a gem.

Terrible counsellor. While I understand that many will not discuss counselling as a taboo, I absolutely will. Megan operates a «revolving door» of counselling.
Warning sings are:
she takes no notes. She could not even remember my family history and asked me twice in the 5 sessions what kind of family background I had, though I had told her at the outset, and even to remind her «sorry, are you the one that came from an alcoholic family?». NO!!!
I am shocked that a counsellor /​social worker shows such lack of caring and conscientiousness to her clients.
When talking through my anxiety issue, she frequently took the lazy way out asking «what will you do?» without offering tools or advice or guidance
The very fact that she never took notes, that she left my basic information file at home not once but twice, and would simply turn questions around to me, all left me feeling that she is disengaged and apathetic as a counsellor, simply wanting to make a buck off others’ vulnerability and hardship. I am appalled that such people are allowed to operate. As a person she is affable but as a professional she really does take the lazy route: shows no sign of note taking in session, or reflection in between session, and seems to take on above maximum capacity of clients (currently advertising just a waitlist on her site:
). Again, I emphasize that I can separate the person vs. the counsellor and fundamentally disagree with her sloppy, lazy standards. She clearly cares more about the money than the people. Disgaceful.
