About Megan Flanagan

Megan Flanagan brings a personalised, integrative approach to therapy, tailoring sessions to each person's needs and goals. She draws on a humanistic foundation to build a trusting therapeutic relationship, then layers in tools such as cognitive behavioural techniques, psychoeducation and creative outlets so that work in sessions fits the client rather than the other way around. Megan emphasises collaborative goal-setting and believes that progress depends on the client’s wishes, effort and readiness to explore new self-awareness.

Megan regularly supports people who feel disconnected from themselves - whether that disconnection follows an abusive relationship, the changes that come with becoming a parent, or a period of uncertainty about routine and identity. She has experience working with survivors of domestic abuse, parents affected by postnatal depression, and people coping with chronic illness or disability. Her practice also addresses issues such as abandonment, self-esteem, depression and major life transitions.

She speaks from both professional training and lived experience, having personally navigated an abusive relationship and postnatal depression, which shapes a compassionate, reassuring manner when meeting new clients. Megan is a registered member of the BACP, a UK counselling association, and holds accreditation with the NCPS, indicating membership of recognised professional bodies. With three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom, she offers therapy that is approachable, tailored and focused on helping people reconnect with who they are.

Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused Support Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the relationship between therapist and client, offering nonjudgemental listening and empathy so individuals can explore their identity, values and goals at their own pace. This approach is useful for people working on self-esteem, parenting changes or rediscovering who they are after life transitions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process and make sense of traumatic events and their effects. It combines practical strategies and reflective work to reduce the impact of past abuse or distressing experiences and to build coping skills for day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan works with clients to identify which methods feel most appropriate based on their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can make regular work possible around busy lives. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face conversation when needed, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter or more frequent check-ins. These options help clients access consistent support from registered professionals and therapists without having to rearrange major commitments, making it easier to stay engaged with therapy over time.
