About Megan

Megan Nightingale is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and sleep difficulties. She supports people coping with relationship or intimacy concerns, anger, addictions and career stresses. She also works with those dealing with ADHD, depression, bipolar and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Megan aims to make the first steps easier. She creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. She encourages practical changes alongside emotional work so clients can notice small improvements sooner.

Her approach is flexible and client-focused. She draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She also uses client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.

Megan has six years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She keeps session times adaptable and asks people to say if they need particular appointment hours.

People who contact her complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions. Payment follows a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are encouraged to check session options when booking to confirm the current arrangements.

How Megan’s approaches work in online therapy

Megan uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This helps when repeated relationship difficulties, abandonment worries or attachment issues cause anxiety and conflict. It focuses on noticing recurring interactions and trying new ways of relating.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings and actions as linked. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking, test different perspectives and try practical changes to reduce anxiety, low mood or sleep disruption.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will discuss goals and preferences and will adapt techniques as therapy progresses. The choice of approach is collaborative and may combine listening, reflection and practical tasks between sessions.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking since formats are not stated in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, avoid travel and use shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about current session options so arrangements can match practical needs and daily routines.
