Megan Flanagan, BACP, NCPS

Megan Flanagan tailors her therapeutic approach to each person she works with, combining a humanistic emphasis on a trusting relationship with elements of CBT, psychoeducation, and creative techniques so sessions meet individual needs. She places the client's wishes, goals, and active commitment at the center of therapy, believing that meaningful change depends on the client’s readiness and effort rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Megan often works with people who feel disconnected from their sense of self or who are navigating the aftermath of difficult experiences. Many who seek her support have left abusive relationships, are re-evaluating their daily routines, or have taken on parenting roles that have shifted their identity. These situations can bring anxiety, low mood, and uncertainty about the future. She has experience supporting both male and female survivors of domestic abuse, parents dealing with postnatal depression, and people struggling with low self-worth, as well as those living with chronic illnesses, disabilities, or other health considerations.

Drawing on her own experience of surviving an abusive relationship and living with postnatal depression, Megan understands how daunting the first step toward help can feel and how meaningful effective counselling can be. This personal insight informs her aim to be warm and reassuring from the initial contact onward, helping people feel safe to explore their concerns and build self-awareness.

Megan is an accredited member of NCPS and a registered member of BACP - both indicate engagement with recognised professional bodies and standards of practice. If someone feels that Megan may be a good fit, they are invited to send a message to begin a conversation about their wellbeing journey.
