Megan Fernandes helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and trauma. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, anger, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges at work or in parenting. Megan speaks English and Hindi and practises from the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Megan aims to build a calm, respectful space where people can talk without feeling judged.
Background and approach
She adapts her approach to each person, listening first to work out what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking as well as making room to feel and understand difficult emotions. Her work draws on a mix of approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive behavioural techniques.
That mix helps with both short-term problems like panic or insomnia and deeper patterns such as attachment or codependency. She also uses skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to support emotion regulation and coping. People can expect straightforward language and a steady, compassionate presence.
Megan favours collaborative goal-setting so clients know what each session is trying to achieve. She emphasises small, achievable changes alongside attention to values and relationships. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and international clients can be supported.
Therapy approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low motivation and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments and new behaviours to reduce symptoms like panic, insomnia or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present-day patterns and helps people repair their ways of relating to others and themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will discuss these methods with clients and together decide what fits best with their goals, history and preferences. The plan can change as therapy progresses so it stays relevant and helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is suited to deeper weekly work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing helps to reflect. These options make it simpler to fit appointments around work, parenting and travel while keeping continuity of care with a single therapist.
