Megan Nightingale, BACP

Megan Nightingale helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship difficulties. She supports those facing grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, and addiction-related worries. Megan also addresses issues around sleep, eating, parenting stress, and life changes. She is listed with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Megan aims to make the first step feel manageable. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions focus on what is useful in everyday life and on making small, practical changes that fit each person’s routine.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix helps people understand patterns, manage difficult thoughts, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Megan also uses mindfulness and existential perspectives to explore meaning and values when that is helpful.

Megan has six years of professional experience and works with adults across a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, and long-term health challenges. She pays attention to how past relationships and early attachments shape current worries, and she helps people build more helpful coping strategies.

She offers flexible session times and adapts work to fit practical needs. People are encouraged to explain any scheduling requirements when they first get in touch so appointments can be arranged to suit them.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and to themselves, which can be useful for relationship worries, intimacy concerns and ongoing anxiety. Client-centred therapy concentrates on listening and understanding without judgement. It gives people space to speak at their own pace and to discover what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person's goals, preferences and everyday constraints and will suggest which methods to try first. If something does not feel helpful, that will be discussed and the plan adjusted so the work fits the person's life.

Online therapy with Megan uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make contact easier across distances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for working around work, caring duties and busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
