About Megan

Megan Nightingale is a counsellor who helps people deal with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing anger, low self-esteem, addictive behaviours and worries about work or parenting. Megan lists money and financial issues among her areas of focus and can help people think through the emotions around money and life decisions.

She creates an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Conversations are practical and aimed at small changes you can try between meetings.

Megan uses several ways of working to match different needs. She draws on client-centred ideas to follow the person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when unhelpful thinking patterns get in the way. Attachment-based thinking helps with long-standing relationship worries.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She invites people to set goals and reflects on progress together. The process is paced to what each person can manage rather than a fixed timetable.

Megan holds BACP as her listed credential and has around six years of professional experience. She offers sessions in English and can work with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and then book a time that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches and what they do

Megan often combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and attachment-based ideas to suit different needs. Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person’s priorities and reflecting back what matters to them; it is useful where someone needs space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical tools to shift unhelpful cycles, which can help with anxiety, low mood and some stress reactions. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and communication, which can be helpful for ongoing relationship or intimacy concerns.

Finding the right mix is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust as things progress. That means you and the counsellor can pick methods that fit your preferences and what you want to change.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule sessions around work or family life and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when you need them and offer flexibility in how often you meet, helping therapy fit into day-to-day routines.
