About Megan
Megan Nightingale is a counsellor who focuses on depression alongside stress, anxiety and relationship problems. She offers a calm presence for people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Her manner is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people take the first small steps towards feeling better.
Megan creates an open space where clients can talk without fear of judgement. She listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Together they look for practical ways to reduce distress and build on strengths.
Background and approach
Her work draws on several well known approaches. Megan uses client-centred ways to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot and change unhelpful thinking.
Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings. Megan has six years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
She welcomes people from different backgrounds and life stages, including those dealing with grief, trauma, addiction or life changes. Sessions can focus on immediate coping – sleep, eating, anger or day-to-day stress – as well as longer term concerns like self-esteem, career worries or bipolar mood management.
Megan adapts her approach to the person in front of her and the goals they set together. She aims to make starting therapy clear and simple. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions at times that suit them.
Megan can be flexible about hours to help fit therapy into busy lives.

Online support
Megan treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods as work progresses so the plan fits the person's life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations when seeing facial cues helps. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit easily into a lunch break or commute. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, jotting down thoughts between sessions or when someone prefers writing. These options make it simpler to arrange regular contact and keep therapy flexible around work and family commitments.
