About Megan
Megan Fernandes is a counsellor registered with the BACP with eight years' experience in clinical practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem and depression among other concerns. She also helps people facing trauma, grief, parenting strain, addiction and challenges around intimacy and eating or sleeping problems.
Megan uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-focused and client-centred ideas. Conversations are organised around noticing thoughts, testing behaviours, and trying small changes that can shift daily routines.
She pays attention to cultural differences and the ways family patterns shape current problems. That includes work on attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, communication problems and codependency. Megan also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, fatherhood concerns and the aftermath of separation or divorce.
Sessions aim to balance immediate coping skills with longer term patterns. That might mean learning emotion regulation strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or using ACT exercises to clarify values and move towards them. Practical homework and short experiments between sessions are commonly used.
Megan offers therapy in English and Hindi and is open to working with people from different countries. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time.
How Megan uses structured approaches in online therapy
Megan commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. CBT sessions are practical and task-focused, useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating problems.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. ACT combines mindful noticing with goal-focused actions and can help with motivation, chronic stress and relationship crossroads.
Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship patterns, abandonment concerns and family problems. This looks at how early experiences shape current expectations and helps people try different ways of connecting with others.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Megan will discuss goals and preferences and agree on a plan together. That plan may shift as practical exercises reveal what helps most.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises so they work across distances and clinical tools like worksheets and between-session tasks translate well to online settings.
