Megan Flanagan, BACP, NCPS

Megan Flanagan tailors therapy to each person she works with, blending a humanistic foundation with practical tools to meet individual needs. She builds a trusting therapeutic relationship and then integrates elements of cognitive behavioral approaches, psychoeducation, and creative outlets so sessions can adapt to the client rather than forcing clients to adapt to a single method. Megan emphasizes that progress depends on the client’s own goals, wishes, and commitment, and she works alongside people who are willing to explore their thoughts and feelings to increase self-awareness.

Many clients who seek her support report feeling disconnected from their sense of self, or unsure how to move forward after leaving an abusive situation or after major life changes such as becoming a parent. These experiences can bring anxiety, low mood, or uncertainty about the future. Megan has experience supporting male and female survivors of domestic abuse, people experiencing postnatal depression for all parents, and those struggling with self-worth. She also supports clients living with chronic illness or disability and attends to the practical and emotional effects of health considerations.

Megan speaks from both professional training and lived experience, having navigated periods of difficulty including an abusive relationship and postnatal depression herself. She is a registered member of the BACP and an accredited member of the NCPS - professional counselling organisations - and works within their ethical frameworks to keep each session focused on wellbeing. Prospective clients who feel a connection to this way of working are encouraged to send a message to begin exploring whether Megan might be a good fit.
