Megan Flanagan, BACP, NCPS

Megan Flanagan works from a person-centred perspective that puts the client at the heart of therapy. She uses a humanistic approach to build trust, then adapts sessions to each person’s needs. Megan is Megan Flanagan, BACP, NCPS and she writes plainly and kindly to make the first step easier.

Megan tailors therapy by combining client-centred work with trauma-focused ideas and practical tools. She mixes psychoeducation and creative outlets when helpful. Sessions focus on the things a person wants to change and on small steps that fit everyday life.

People who come to her often feel disconnected from themselves. Some have left abusive relationships, are dealing with postnatal depression, or are adjusting to changes after having children. Others bring long-term health issues, chronic pain, or struggles with self-esteem and day-to-day coping.

Megan has three years of experience in practice and draws on her own recovery to offer an empathetic, non-judgemental space. She aims to make early sessions straightforward so people can see how therapy might help them before committing to deeper work.

She works within the frameworks of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Those memberships guide her professional practice and how she manages sessions.

To begin, people are invited to use the site’s matching process to find out if they feel comfortable with Megan and to set up a first session when they are ready.

How Megan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Megan works from client-centred therapy and trauma-focused therapy. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, listens without judgement and helps them find their own solutions. It is useful for exploring identity, parenting changes and low self-esteem. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing past harm while building safety and coping skills; it is commonly used for people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Megan will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that feel manageable. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
