About Megan
BACP. Six years' experience. Megan Nightingale works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions and relationship concerns. She also helps with grief, anger, low self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, parenting pressures and career worries.
Megan uses a flexible, client-focused style. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She encourages open conversation about thoughts and feelings and works to reduce judgement in the room.
Her approach draws on attachment work and client-centred ideas to understand how relationships shape feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness.
Megan offers a down-to-earth way of working. Sessions tend to focus on clear problems and small steps that can be tried between meetings. She pays attention to how past experiences affect present choices and relationships.
She is willing to discuss session times and says she can be flexible with hours to meet people’s schedules. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting to agree goals and practical arrangements.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and ways of relating. It helps when relationship patterns, abandonment or attachment concerns affect daily life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The counsellor listens without directing and supports the client to find their own solutions, which can help with self-esteem, confidence and life decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries small, practical changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find remote sessions fit around work, childcare and travel commitments and can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or let someone choose to use audio only if that better suits the moment. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors generally work with clients to arrange practical timings that suit everyday life.Areas of expertise
