About Megan
Megan Flanagan works from a client-centred and trauma-focused approach. She focuses on building a trusting relationship and tailoring therapy to each person's needs. Megan aims to make sessions practical and approachable for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes or low mood.
Megan draws on three years of clinical practice to support adults dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people coping with life transitions such as separation or changing family roles.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what the individual wants to achieve and how they prefer to work. Megan combines a humanistic, client-centred way of working with trauma-focused methods. That means she listens for what matters most, then uses targeted approaches to address distressing memories and patterns.
She also brings in psychoeducation and creative outlets when these fit someone’s goals. Her background includes working with people who have experienced domestic abuse, postnatal depression and chronic illness or disability. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS.
These credentials are listed as supplied. Megan is familiar with issues such as abandonment, communication problems, addiction, caregiver stress and blended family tensions. She supports people working through grief, emptiness and forgiving themselves or others.
The work is practical and paced to the individual. To begin, she asks people to reflect on their hopes for therapy and to be willing to engage in the process. Sessions focus on small, steady steps towards clearer self-understanding and better day-to-day coping.

Approaches Megan lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address the impact of past abuse or distressing events. This involves working carefully with memories and reactions so they cause less disruption to daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then agree on methods to try. She adjusts the plan as work progresses so it fits the individual's pace and needs.
Online sessions make that collaborative work flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written conversation or want to work in smaller steps through the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs, while still focusing on progress and practical coping.
