About Megan

Megan Flanagan is a counsellor who uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and a client-centred approach. She keeps things practical and personal, shaping sessions around what each person needs. Megan aims to build a trusting relationship so people can feel understood and find their own way forward.

Megan draws on three years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works in plain language and offers a calm, grounded space for people who feel disconnected from themselves.

Background and approach

Her approach starts with the client's goals and priorities rather than a fixed agenda. <br many people who come to Megan have left abusive situations, struggled with low self-worth, or felt overwhelmed after becoming a parent. She also has experience supporting people living with chronic illness or disability and those recovering from domestic abuse.

Sessions often focus on restoring a sense of identity and managing anxiety or low mood. In sessions she blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with client-centred listening. This means conversations are paced to the person's needs, with practical ideas offered when useful.

Psychoeducation and creative options may be used to help people learn new ways to cope. Megan speaks from lived experience of postnatal depression and past abuse, which informs how she greets new clients. She aims to be welcoming and straightforward, helping people take the first step and work steadily towards clearer goals.

How Trauma-Focused and Client-Centred Work Online

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding how past harm affects thoughts, feelings and daily life. Online sessions using this approach look at triggers and coping strategies, and support people to process difficult memories at a pace that suits them.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers. This approach helps with low self-worth, life changes and rebuilding a sense of self.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Megan will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with a person's goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and sessions are adjusted together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people access counselling around work, family and health demands.
