About Megan
Megan Flanagan is a counsellor who uses a human-centred approach to shape therapy around each person. She focuses on making therapy practical and personal, helping people reclaim a sense of who they are. Megan draws on three years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.
Megan begins by building a trusting relationship. Sessions are guided by the client’s goals and priorities. She combines client-centred work with trauma-focused ideas, straightforward psychoeducation and creative ways to express feelings when that helps.
Background and approach
People come to Megan for many reasons. Some are coping with trauma, abuse or domestic violence. Others feel low self-esteem, postnatal depression, or struggle after major life changes.
She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, disability and the stress of caregiving. Megan has personal experience with postnatal depression and an abusive relationship, and she says that experience shapes how she listens. She aims to make the first step easier by being welcoming and down-to-earth from the start.
She works within the ethical frameworks of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. That membership is listed as BACP and NCPS. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred and trauma-focused work adapts online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s goals and experience at the centre of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people find their own solutions. This approach can help with identity concerns, parenting stress and low self-esteem. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences. It uses gentle, structured conversations and practical skills to help people feel safer in their day-to-day life. This approach is often used for those who have faced abuse or significant loss. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan will talk through needs, goals and preferences to decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and useful. Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let you see body language and build rapport, while phone sessions work well when a camera isn’t needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins or reflective writing easier to fit into a busy day. These options make it simpler to access therapy from different locations and to pick a format that fits daily life.Questions people ask about Megan
