About Megan

Megan Nightingale is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of professional experience. She works with young adults on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem and motivation. She also supports people coping with grief, anger and life changes.

Megan uses straightforward talking therapies to help people name what is difficult and find manageable steps forward. She draws on client-centred work to listen without judgement and attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical tools for thoughts and behaviour help reduce worry and improve daily routines.

Sessions are a space to speak openly about sensitive topics including trauma, addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ADHD. She also works with challenges tied to identity and LGBT matters, career uncertainty, and blended family or parenting strains. She avoids jargon and keeps the focus on what an individual wants to change.

Megan aims to be flexible with session times and to adapt the pace to each person. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow. This initial step helps match goals and practical arrangements before the first meeting.

Approaches to support and how online sessions work

Megan uses client-centred therapy to focus on an individual's own experience and priorities. That approach involves listening without judgement and helping clients clarify what matters to them, which suits people facing life decisions and identity questions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to offer practical tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and steps to manage daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful, try methods out in session and adjust the plan based on the client's needs and goals.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into study, work or busy routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better suits a person. Ask about session length and timing when completing the short matching questionnaire so practical arrangements can be agreed before the first session.
