About Megan
Megan Fernandes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She supports people dealing with trauma, grief, self-esteem problems and addiction. She also addresses parenting strains, sleep and eating issues, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar conditions.
Megan takes a warm, respectful approach in sessions. She listens without judgement and aims to create a calm space for people to talk about hard things.
Background and approach
Her style combines practical skills with attention to emotions and personal values. She draws on a mix of evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Attachment-based work and client-centred ways of relating also shape how she supports people.
This blend lets her tailor practical tools and reflective conversation to each person’s needs. Megan has eight years of experience working across different settings. She has a BACP credential, which is listed among her professional details.
She is comfortable working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and can offer sessions in English and Hindi. People meet practical strategies, emotional exploration and goal-focused steps in her sessions. She encourages small, steady changes and helps people build coping skills for everyday life.
The emphasis is on collaboration and on finding approaches that fit each person’s situation. For those ready to begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with arrangements varying by location and therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps that match those values. In practice this often means learning simple exercises to notice thoughts and move toward actions that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments. That approach tends to suit anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties where behavioural changes can help.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods for a few sessions and adjust based on what helps most, so the plan evolves with the person’s needs.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make work on these approaches practical. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter environment is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework support or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and maintain continuity between sessions.
