About Megan
Megan Flanagan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. She has three years' experience supporting people in the United Kingdom with trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
Megan uses a humanistic, client-centred stance as the starting point in sessions. She focuses on what each person wants to get from therapy and works alongside them to set clear goals. She also draws on trauma-focused approaches when past harm is a central issue.
People come to her when they feel disconnected from themselves after major changes. That might be leaving an abusive relationship, struggling after having a child, or feeling uncertain about a current routine. Megan has worked with survivors of domestic abuse and with parents experiencing postnatal depression. She also has experience supporting people with chronic illness and disability.
Megan describes therapy as an active process that needs commitment from the client. Sessions include talking things through, learning about how trauma affects reactions, and using practical ideas to rebuild confidence. She may also introduce gentle psychoeducation and creative exercises when these help progress.
Her background includes personal experience of postnatal depression and past abusive relationships, which informs her practical approach. She asks people to consider what they want from counselling and to be ready to take steps between sessions. To begin, readers are invited to use the site matching steps to book an initial meeting.
How Megan uses client-centred and trauma-focused work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's priorities at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, helps clarify goals, and works at the client's pace. This approach suits people who want a collaborative tone and practical steps to build on what matters to them.Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past harm affects current feelings and behaviours. It includes helping people understand trauma responses, learning techniques for grounding and emotion regulation, and planning gradual steps to feel more in control. This is useful when responses to past events are getting in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will discuss options and agree a route forward with each person based on their needs and preferences. That includes reviewing whether client-centred methods, trauma-focused work, or a mix will best support the goals they set together.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when full sessions are not needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pace and tools to suit quieter surroundings, less screen time, or when someone prefers not to use video.
