About Megan
Megan Flanagan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has three years' experience and helps people with trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.
Megan uses a humanistic, client-centred stance to build a trusting relationship first. She then draws on trauma-focused ideas and practical tools to suit what each person needs. Sessions are shaped around the client's goals and the work they want to do.
Many people who come to her feel disconnected from themselves after difficult experiences. Some have left abusive situations or are adjusting to becoming a parent and feel they have lost parts of their identity. Others are managing chronic illness, care responsibilities, or difficult relationship patterns that leave them anxious or low.
Megan speaks from both professional and lived experience. She has personal experience of postnatal depression and an abusive relationship, and she says that those experiences inform how she listens and responds. She has worked with people affected by domestic abuse and with parents managing postnatal difficulties.
In sessions she blends conversation with clear information and practical exercises. That can include psychoeducation, simple behavioural ideas, and creative ways to reflect on feelings. The focus stays on what the individual wants to change and the steps they feel ready to try.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Megan combines client-centred methods with trauma-focused therapy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says, helping them clarify feelings and make their own decisions. It suits people who want a supportive space to understand their thoughts and choices. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic experiences and uses structured ways to reduce the hold those memories have on day-to-day life. It is often used when past experiences are affecting current wellbeing.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Megan works with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt the style over time if something is not working or if priorities change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or offering sessions when leaving the house is difficult. Registered and accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep regular contact and follow progress while adapting methods to how someone prefers to work.
