About Megan
Megan Fernandes is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, addiction and grief. She also supports those coping with life changes, trauma, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, career concerns and questions around identity and parenting.
Megan uses straightforward talking therapy alongside practical strategies. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, reachable steps that make daily life easier. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas, client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural techniques.
Her style pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes relationships and coping. Conversations explore patterns like codependency, communication problems, commitment worries and control issues. They also look at attachment and abandonment themes that can affect how people set boundaries and ask for support.
Expect sessions that balance listening with concrete tools. There may be exercises to try between meetings, plain skills for managing strong emotions, and chances to practise saying no or making requests more clearly. The therapist aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build alternatives that fit their life.
Megan works in English and Hindi and is available to people based in the United Kingdom and international clients. Before booking, clients complete a short questionnaire to match with a session time and schedule their first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that matter. It helps with anxiety, low mood and patterns like people-pleasing by shifting attention toward values and small, doable steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand codependency, difficulty setting boundaries and repeated relationship cycles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches clear strategies to test thoughts and change behaviours. It is practical for managing worry, anger and unhelpful habits.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick approaches that fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying one method for a while and adjusting based on what helps in everyday life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also makes it possible for people living outside the UK to access sessions. Practical benefits include using exercises from ACT or CBT between meetings, practising communication skills in real time, and choosing session lengths that suit work or family routines.
