Megan Flanagan
Tailored client-centred and trauma-informed care
About Megan
Megan Flanagan practises a client-centred and trauma-focused approach to therapy. She aims to build a trusting relationship and adapt sessions to each person’s needs. Megan speaks plainly and keeps sessions practical, helping people talk through painful experiences and regain a clearer sense of self.
Megan uses the client-centred model to place the person’s priorities at the heart of therapy. She listens for what matters most, then shapes sessions around those goals.
Background and approach
Her trauma-focused work targets the effects of abuse and other traumatic events, with attention to emotional safety and steady pacing. She has three years of practice and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS is the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.
Those memberships mean she follows recognised professional frameworks. Megan often supports people who feel disconnected from themselves after major life changes. This includes coping with depression, low self-esteem, parenting strain and the aftermath of abusive situations.
She also works with concerns such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, communication problems and difficulties around intimacy and alternative sexual cultures. In sessions she blends listening with practical tools, psychoeducation and creative outlets when helpful. The focus is on small, achievable steps to reduce overwhelm and rebuild confidence.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and arranges sessions that fit their schedule.

How client-centred and trauma-focused work fits online
Client-Centred Therapy is built around the person’s own goals and experiences. It means the counsellor listens carefully, reflects what they hear and helps the person make choices about what to focus on next. This approach suits people who want to feel heard and to shape therapy around their priorities.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events. It looks at symptoms that follow abuse or other frightening experiences and uses steady, paced work to help people feel less overwhelmed. This approach is useful when past events affect day-to-day life or relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and personal preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can combine these formats to match what works best for each person.
