Megan Flanagan, BACP, NCPS

Megan Flanagan offers a person-focused counselling style that places the client at the centre of therapy. She uses a humanistic client-centred approach and adapts sessions to each persons needs. Megan aims to build a steady, trusting relationship so people can begin to understand themselves again.

She combines that core approach with practical elements such as psychoeducation, gentle cognitive techniques, and creative outlets when these fit a person's goals. Sessions often focus on rebuilding self-worth, managing low mood, and coping with big life changes. Megan also has experience supporting people after abusive relationships and with difficulties that follow parenthood.

Megan has worked with clients who have chronic illness, disability, and other long-term health considerations. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. These credentials are stated as provided.

Her way of working starts by listening to what matters most to each person. Therapy is then shaped around those aims, with practical steps and reflective conversation. She emphasises the clients goals and effort as the core of progress.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Megan uses a client-centred approach that begins with listening. This approach focuses on understanding each person's priorities and building a dependable therapeutic relationship. It helps when someone feels disconnected from who they are or is unsure about next steps in life.

She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past harm is a key concern. That work concentrates on helping people make sense of traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing effects, using careful, paced conversations and practical coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options are needed, but specific session formats are not listed in the biography. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged.
