Megan Flanagan, BACP, NCPS

Megan Flanagan offers a person-centred approach that aims to make therapy feel practical and tailored. She focuses the work on what each individual wants to achieve and adapts sessions to suit those goals. Megan uses straightforward conversation, psychoeducation and creative methods to help people feel more like themselves again.

She often supports people who are rebuilding after abuse or who feel disconnected from their identity. Some clients have come after postnatal depression, or while managing ongoing health issues. Megan describes these experiences openly and draws on them to empathise with people who are anxious, low in mood, or unsure about changes in their life.

Megan combines Client-Centred Therapy with Trauma-Focused Therapy and draws on other practical tools when helpful. That mix is used to stabilise distress, rebuild confidence, and look at patterns that get in the way of daily life. Sessions are shaped by the person’s goals and pace rather than by a fixed timetable.

She has three years of practice and holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are carried through her work in the United Kingdom. Megan aims to be welcoming and steady at first contact, to make the step of asking for help easier.

If someone is a carer or supports a family member and wants focused help with caregiver stress or related worries, she lists Supporting carers among her areas of interest. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling, which helps plan suitable next steps.

How Megan’s approaches work for online therapy

Megan works from Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and following what the person brings to the session. This approach helps people who feel disconnected from themselves or are sorting out identity changes after major life events.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harm in ways that reduce distress and build coping. This approach aims to help people feel safer in daily life and to manage strong emotions more effectively.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they will agree which methods to try and adjust them as the work progresses.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions around care duties and everyday life, easier access when mobility or health concerns make travel difficult, and shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed. The specific session formats offered are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals can help clients decide which arrangement will fit their schedule and needs.
