About Megan

Megan Flanagan uses a client-led, humanistic approach to shape every session. She focuses on building a trusting relationship and follows the client’s aims. Megan draws on trauma-focused methods when needed and adapts tools to suit each person’s pace and needs.

She commonly helps people who feel disconnected from themselves after big life changes. This includes those leaving abusive situations, people coping with postnatal depression, and parents adjusting to shifts in identity.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing chronic illness or disability related challenges. Megan keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Conversations include talking through feelings, learning small coping strategies and trying creative ways to express difficult experiences.

She emphasises the client’s wishes and works at a pace they find manageable. Her personal experience with relationship harm and postnatal depression informs her empathy for people starting therapy. She aims to make first contacts welcoming and to reduce the stress of taking that step.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth, with a focus on clear goals and steady progress. Megan is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She has three years of practice experience in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

If someone feels she might be the right fit, they begin by completing the service questionnaire and arranging sessions.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How client-centred and trauma-informed work fits online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what’s said and helps people identify their own next steps. This approach suits anyone who needs space to rediscover who they are after major life changes.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at the effects of trauma. It uses careful, paced work to help people make sense of difficult events and reduce the hold those memories have on day-to-day life. This approach can help when someone is recovering from abusive relationships or other traumatic experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Megan works collaboratively to choose what fits best based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try methods gently and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy days, while keeping the work focused and practical.
