Megan Flanagan, BACP, NCPS

Megan Flanagan uses a human-centred approach to make therapy feel personal and focused. She draws on client-centred and trauma-focused therapies to help people who feel disconnected from themselves. Megan aims to build trust and then shape sessions around each person’s goals and needs.

She keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Conversations may include exploring past hurt, learning ways to cope, and trying simple exercises to notice patterns. Creative outlets and psychoeducation can be used when they suit the person’s needs.

Megan has three years of practice and has supported people recovering from abusive relationships and those who have experienced postnatal depression. Her background also includes working with people living with chronic illness or disability and others coping with major life changes.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. These credentials are shown as supplied in her professional details.

People who come to Megan often want help with low self-esteem, depression, parenting stresses, or trauma and abuse. She works in English and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, visitors follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to be matched and arrange sessions.

Therapy approaches you can access online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows your lead, reflecting what matters to you and helping you find your own answers. This approach suits people who want space to explore identity, parenting changes, or feelings of emptiness.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at how past distress affects daily life now. It uses careful, paced work to help people notice triggers, learn coping strategies, and reduce the hold of painful memories. This approach is often helpful for people recovering from abuse or other traumatic events.

Finding the best approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and any worries, then try methods that fit. Sessions may change over time as needs shift, and choices are made together rather than imposed.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while saving travel time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer writing, or those who need flexibility during the day. Registered or accredited professionals provide these formats, so people can choose what works best for them.
