About Megan
Megan Nightingale helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, low self-esteem, addiction and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar. She supports those wrestling with relationship and intimacy issues, family concerns, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, career pressures and the practical challenges of ADHD and life transitions. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
Megan holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, and has six years of professional experience.
Background and approach
Megan aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward. She keeps sessions relaxed and judgement-free so people can say what matters to them. In early meetings she listens to immediate concerns and practical needs, then agrees goals and small steps to work on between sessions.
Her approach mixes a few different methods to fit each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centred work to keep the focus on the client's experience, and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and existential perspectives also shape conversations about meaning and calmness in daily life.
Megan is comfortable addressing more specialised issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism spectrum concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and dissociation. She also helps with body image, codependency and communication problems. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, with time spent on coping skills and clearer thinking.
Megan offers flexible scheduling to accommodate different routines. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session according to availability.

How Megan works online
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that match the person's needs. Progress is reviewed together so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It may also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking so they match your schedule and needs.
