Megan Flanagan , BACP, NCPS

Megan Flanagan offers personalised counselling that adapts therapeutic methods to each person's needs and goals. She combines a humanistic, client-centered foundation with practical tools such as cognitive behavioural techniques, psychoeducation and creative outlets so sessions feel relevant and useful. Over three years of practice and training she has focused on ensuring the work reflects what clients want to achieve, emphasising that therapy requires the client’s commitment and active participation for meaningful progress.

People who see Megan often describe a loss of connection with their sense of self, uncertainty after leaving abusive relationships, or the challenge of redefining identity after becoming a parent. She has experience supporting survivors of domestic abuse, parents affected by postnatal depression, and people coping with low self-worth, chronic illness or disability. Her practice also addresses parenting challenges, relationship and communication problems, and life transitions that can leave someone feeling anxious, depressed or unsure of the future.

Megan draws on her own lived experience of difficult relationships and postnatal depression to bring empathy and understanding to her work. She aims to make the first step toward help as welcoming and reassuring as possible. She is a registered member of the BACP - the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and an accredited member of the NCPS, and she works within their ethical frameworks. If her approach resonates, prospective clients are invited to contact her to explore whether they might be a good fit for working together.

Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused Support Online

Megan uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients lead the pace and priorities of the work. This approach helps people who feel disconnected from themselves, are exploring identity changes such as new parenthood, or need support making sense of their thoughts and feelings. Trauma-focused therapy is also a key part of her practice and offers structured ways to address the effects of abuse, trauma and overwhelming life events so symptoms and memories can be processed with care and skill.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Megan works with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and checks in regularly so the plan stays relevant and aligned with the client’s priorities. This mirrors the way many licensed professionals and therapists tailor care to individual circumstances.

Online therapy with Megan is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health considerations while maintaining continuity of care. The variety of formats also allows clients to choose the way of working that feels safest and most effective for them.
