About Megan
Megan Flanagan is a counsellor who uses a human-centred, flexible approach to therapy. She emphasises a trusting relationship and shapes sessions around each person’s goals and needs. Megan draws on trauma-focused work alongside client-centred methods to help people rebuild a sense of self and cope with difficult changes.
People often come to her feeling disconnected from who they are. Some have left abusive situations or are struggling after becoming a parent. Others are facing depression, low self-esteem, long-term illness or the stress of caregiving. Megan listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them.
Her approach mixes straightforward emotional support with practical tools. She offers trauma-focused work to address past harm and client-centred conversations that prioritise the person’s own views. Psychoeducation and creative outlets may be used when they fit a person’s needs.
Megan has three years of professional experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. These credentials are listed as part of her practice background.
She understands how hard it can be to take the first step, having faced postnatal depression and an abusive relationship herself. That experience informs a warm, down-to-earth approach aimed at making the first contact easier. If the issues above feel familiar, a short message is the simplest way to begin.
How these approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means the counsellor listens without judging and follows the person's lead. This approach helps people rediscover who they are and clarify their own goals.Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of traumatic experiences. It uses focused conversations and practical strategies to reduce the ongoing impact of past harm and to build safer ways of coping.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest which approaches to try. Decisions about how to proceed are made together and reviewed as therapy moves forward.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats can also help when audio-only calls are simpler or when video sessions help maintain face-to-face connection. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will suit your aims during the first contact.
