Megan Nightingale, BACP

Megan Nightingale is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, anger and motivation, as well as challenges linked to addiction, sleep and eating. Megan also works with people navigating neurodiversity, attachment wounds and caregiving stress. She is a BACP member and has six years of experience in practice.

Megan aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, and pace is set by the client. She draws on client-centred conversations to build trust and help people feel heard.

Her work uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and try out practical changes. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect present ones. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are also part of her toolbox for coping and meaning-making.

Megan often supports people making major life shifts, including those in midlife. She encourages small, manageable steps and clear goals to test new ways of being. Over time clients can gain clearer thinking and steadier routines.

She offers flexible scheduling and asks people to share any timing needs before booking. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then arrange sessions according to availability.

How Megan’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how past bonds shape current trust and closeness, which can help when people feel stuck in repeating cycles. Client-centred therapy gives space for the person to lead the conversation and feel heard, helping to build confidence and clarity as issues are talked through. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour by breaking them into manageable steps and testing small changes between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative planning helps keep sessions relevant and focused on real-life changes.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as explicit formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow for sessions at different times of day to suit work or caregiving routines. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt pace, exercises and homework so therapy fits everyday life rather than demanding large blocks of time.
