Megan Nightingale

Megan Nightingale is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and the knock-on effects on daily life. She supports those struggling with depression, bipolar mood changes, addictions, grief, self-esteem and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Megan welcomes people from LGBT communities and people living with ADHD and other neurodiversity-related challenges. She works in English and accepts clients internationally.

Megan aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely about difficult feelings. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and focuses on practical steps as well as understanding underlying patterns. Sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a rigid formula.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. She also uses existential questions and mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. These approaches are used to address issues like anger, coping with life changes, communication problems and body image concerns.

Megan has six years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She aims to be flexible about session times and asks people to share any timing needs up front so she can try to accommodate them. She describes the first steps as simple and practical: a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Megan offers steady, straightforward support aimed at clearer thinking, better coping and more thoughtful choices. She encourages people to set goals together and to check in regularly about what is and isn’t working.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Megan uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people notice how they relate to others and to themselves, which can be useful for anger, abandonment concerns and communication problems.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small, practical steps. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and managing anger through new coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Megan treats approach selection as a joint decision based on the person's goals, preferences and what feels manageable. She checks in regularly and adapts methods if something is not helping.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for more flexible scheduling. If you plan to work online, confirm the exact session formats available before booking so you know whether video, phone or another option will be used. The therapist asks about any timing needs up front and aims to arrange sessions that suit everyday commitments.
