About Megan
Megan Nightingale is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and adjustment to life changes.
Megan uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She works collaboratively on small experiments between sessions so people can try different ways of responding. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and test new approaches in everyday life.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centred listening. That means sessions include attention to how relationships affect feelings, looking at thoughts and behaviours, and a focus on what the person wants from therapy. Mindfulness and existential perspectives may also be used where they fit the work.
Megan has supported people with a wide range of issues including addictions, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar, and caregiving stress. She also helps with attachment-related concerns, body image, communication problems, and chronic illness or pain. She accepts international clients and offers flexible hours to accommodate different schedules.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. That process helps make sure the initial session focuses on immediate concerns and practical next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Megan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and focused on things to try between sessions, which can fit well with online meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and responses; this can help with relationship difficulties and intimacy-related concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Megan will work with the person to decide which methods to use based on their goals, preferences and what feels most useful in early sessions. The choice is collaborative and can shift as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If someone prefers a quieter call without video, or a full video session for a deeper conversation, these practical differences can be discussed when scheduling so sessions fit everyday life.
