About Megan

Megan Nightingale is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. She supports those dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, addiction and low self-esteem. She also works with people facing major life changes, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and issues linked to ageing and geriatric concerns.

Megan keeps sessions straightforward and non‑judgemental. She encourages people to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings and to set realistic goals for change. Her style aims to make the room feel like a conversation, not an interrogation.

In practice she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking and practical ways to try new behaviours. Mindfulness and client-centred ways of working are used to slow things down and focus on what matters most to each person.

Megan has six years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She is able to work with people from diverse backgrounds and accepts international clients who can join from other countries.

She keeps her approach flexible around clients' lives and asks people to discuss any special timing needs. For practical next steps she asks people to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches used for online therapy and how they help

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It can help people understand patterns in close relationships and why certain responses keep repeating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It supports practical changes such as shifting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to improve mood and anxiety. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work and uses a warm, accepting stance to help people find their own solutions and make sense of difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which approach or mix might suit best. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Details about exact online session formats were not given in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during the working week. Some formats are lighter on bandwidth and work well for quick progress checks, while others suit a longer, face-to-face style conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can often accommodate different timings to help therapy fit around everyday commitments.
