About Megan
Megan Flanagan is a counsellor who uses a humanistic, client-centred way of working. She focuses on building a trusting relationship and shaping sessions around what each person wants to achieve. Megan holds BACP and NCPS credentials and draws on her own experience to offer a warm, down-to-earth approach.
Megan tailors therapy to the individual rather than following a fixed method. She combines client-centred listening with trauma-focused ideas, practical psychoeducation and creative activities when helpful. Sessions aim to help people reconnect with themselves and make sense of difficult life events.
The people who come to her often feel disconnected, unsure of their identity, or drained by parenting and relationship difficulties. Some have left abusive situations or are coping with postnatal depression and low self-worth. She also has experience supporting people living with chronic illness and disability.
Megan says the client’s goals guide the work in therapy. She encourages clear, achievable steps and values each person’s commitment to change. Conversations are practical, approachable and paced to suit the person in the room.
Having experienced postnatal depression and an abusive relationship herself, Megan aims to make the first contact less daunting. She works within the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS, to keep sessions focused on wellbeing.
How client-centred and trauma-focused work fits online
Megan uses client-centred methods that focus on listening, building trust and following the person’s goals. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what they want to change or understand. Trauma-focused therapy looks directly at the effects of traumatic events and helps people develop safer ways of coping and making sense of difficult memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Megan will discuss options with each person and agree a plan together that matches their needs, goals and preferences. That plan can change as therapy moves forward and new priorities emerge.
Consulting online can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or let someone choose not to be on camera if they prefer. Specific session formats were not stated in the biography, so confirm current options before booking to see what is offered. Overall, online sessions can be a practical way to access client-centred and trauma-focused support without rearranging your whole schedule.
