Compassionate counsellor for life’s tough moments
About Megan
Megan Nightingale helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, sleep or eating difficulties, and life changes.

Megan works in a calm, non-judgemental way to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.
Megan uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She focuses on the here-and-now and on patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, better emotional regulation, and stronger coping strategies. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current responses.
She also uses client-centred listening so people feel heard, and cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness tools and existential reflection are added when they fit the person’s goals. Megan has six years of professional experience in counselling settings in the United Kingdom.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, which is noted in her professional details. People who choose her often want practical steps as well as space to be understood. She keeps session times flexible and is willing to discuss arrangements that suit different schedules.
Megan accepts international clients and works in English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Megan combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred and cognitive behavioural work to help people online. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships influence current reactions and helps with patterns in close relationships. Client-centred therapy centres on active listening and empathy so people feel understood and can explore their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practising different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Sessions may mix approaches over time so techniques are tailored to what is proving most useful.
Online formats offer practical benefits such as greater scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
