About Megan

Megan Nightingale helps people managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and a wide range of relationship and personal concerns. She works with issues such as anger, self-esteem, addictions, intimacy-related worries, sleeping and eating problems, career strain and living with bipolar or ADHD.

Her approach aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and manageable for someone who may be anxious about taking that first step. Megan uses a warm, non-judgemental style that encourages people to speak openly about what matters to them.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on simple, practical ways to cope day to day. She listens for patterns in relationships and emotional responses, then helps people try different ways of responding that feel more helpful. Her work draws on client-centred methods that put the person's experience at the heart of the session.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking, and attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present ones. Mindfulness and existential perspectives may be used to help people notice feelings and find personal meaning. Megan is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is noted in her credentials.

She has six years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and supports people from different backgrounds and life stages. Sessions can be scheduled to suit individual timetables. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.

The initial step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a session time.

Ways of working Megan names

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

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Megan combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to support people online. Client-centred therapy means the person leads the conversation while the counsellor listens without judgement and helps reflect what matters. This approach suits people who need emotional support and a space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Megan will discuss goals and preferences together and adapt the work as needs become clearer. This collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and manageable for each person.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing written support that can fit around work or caring responsibilities. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
