About Megan
Megan Fernandes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationships and self-esteem struggles. She supports people dealing with trauma, grief, anger and addictions, and she also works with concerns such as parenting, career strain, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and issues related to LGBT identity.
Megan uses a practical, person-focused way of working and speaks English and Hindi. Megan draws on eight years of experience in mental health and behavioural counselling.
Background and approach
She describes her work as warm and respectful, and she pays attention to cultural differences that matter to each person. Her approach is flexible and aims to match the work to what feels most useful for the individual. Sessions tend to focus on what someone wants to change and how to get there.
She blends techniques that help reduce distress with ways to build clearer patterns in relationships and daily life. Clients can expect straightforward tools as well as space to reflect on past hurts and attachment patterns. Megan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That is the credential shown in her profile. If someone decides to begin therapy she asks for a simple intake step to clarify needs and goals. She works collaboratively, naming options and adjusting methods as progress is made.

Approaches you might meet in online counselling
Megan draws on several well-known approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while focusing on actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they shape trust and closeness now, which can help with relationship strain and intimacy-related issues.Choosing the right way of working is part of the collaboration. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try different methods, and adapt the plan as progress is made. This means the approach can shift over time to match what helps most.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or offering a way to continue work while living in another region. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to combine practical skills and reflective work so therapy fits everyday commitments.
