About Megan
Megan Nightingale is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, addiction and codependency concerns.
Megan aims for a calm, straightforward way of working. Sessions are a place to talk about what is happening now and how it affects everyday life. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as people-pleasing or losing boundaries, and looks at practical steps to change them.
She uses a mix of approaches to fit the person in front of her. That can mean looking at attachment and how early relationships shape present reactions. It can mean using cognitive strategies to test unhelpful thoughts. It can also include mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and bring attention back to the present.
Megan keeps session times flexible and asks people to raise any scheduling needs up front. She works with adults on concerns including ADHD, body image, bereavement, chronic health stress and intimacy-related difficulties. She accepts clients from outside the UK and runs sessions in English.
Practical first steps start with a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. Megan aims to be clear about the next steps so people can decide if the way she works fits them.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Megan draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach helps people understand recurring patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect boundaries and trust.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments. Those methods are useful for anxiety, low mood, and behaviour patterns linked to codependency. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and build present-moment awareness, helping with emotional regulation and stress management.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist discusses options with each person, considers their goals and preferences, and adjusts methods as progress is reviewed. That collaborative process aims to find what fits and what produces useful change.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the exact options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and reduce the need to be on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you set up your first meeting.
