About Megan
Megan Nightingale is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self‑esteem and motivation. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, bipolar challenges, sleep or eating difficulties, and LGBT‑related matters.
Megan offers a calm, non‑judgemental space to talk through what’s worrying you and to find practical ways forward. Megan aims to make first steps feel manageable.
Background and approach
She focuses on listening and understanding a person’s story before suggesting changes. Sessions are adaptable to each person’s needs and preferences rather than following a rigid plan. Her working style draws on attachment‑based ideas, client‑centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools, existential reflection, and mindfulness practices.
That means she pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current feelings, helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and supports simple exercises people can try between sessions. Megan has six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She is comfortable working with people facing complex or overlapping concerns, such as chronic stress combined with sleep problems or caregiving strain.
She welcomes conversations about practical arrangements and aims to fit sessions around everyday life. To start, she asks people to share a little about what brought them to therapy and what they hope to change. From there she works collaboratively to set goals and choose strategies that suit each person’s situation.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Megan uses client‑centred work to create a listening space where people can bring what matters most to them. This approach focuses on understanding the person’s experience and following their lead to decide what to work on, which can be helpful for emotional pain, low self‑esteem and relationship worries.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT offers clear, practical exercises to try between sessions that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Megan will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process makes it easier to test methods and tweak them over time.
The practical benefits of therapy delivered online can include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it simpler to keep appointments when travel is difficult. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to maintain momentum between meetings and to practise new coping steps in everyday settings.
