Megan Flanagan uses a client-centred, person-focused approach to therapy. She centres conversations on each person's needs and aims to build a clear, respectful working relationship. Megan draws on trauma-focused methods when harmful experiences are part of the picture.

She helps people who feel disconnected from themselves after painful events or major life changes. Some people come after abusive relationships, or when postnatal pressures have left them feeling low. Others turn to therapy for depression, low self-esteem, parenting strain, or difficulty coping with illness or disability.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens first, then works with each person to shape practical next steps. That can include talking through painful memories, learning ways to manage difficult feelings, and trying different activities to test what helps. Megan keeps language simple and focuses on everyday change rather than complicated theory.

She holds credentials with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Megan has three years of practice working with the concerns above, and she follows the ethical frameworks those bodies set out. Megan aims to make first contact easy and reassuring.

Her approach speaks to people who want straightforward support for trauma, parenting strains, depression, or rebuilding a sense of self after change.

How Megan’s approaches work online

Megan uses client-centred therapy to place the person’s priorities at the heart of every session. That means sessions begin with listening to what matters most, then shaping goals together and testing simple, practical steps that fit daily life.

She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past harm affects current functioning. This approach helps people make sense of traumatic memories, learn ways to manage strong emotions, and gradually rebuild confidence and safety in themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She will check in about what is and isn’t helping and adjust the plan together.

Online therapy makes these approaches more flexible. Video sessions let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit ongoing support, brief updates, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit work on wellbeing around other demands.
