Megan Fernandes, BACP

Megan Fernandes offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps with life changes, addictions, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and parenting. Her work includes concerns such as sleeping and eating difficulties, career questions, ADHD and mood conditions like depression and bipolar. Megan works in English and Hindi and is based in the United Kingdom. She draws on eight years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, which she carries into everyday conversations with clients. Her approach is warm and respectful, with a focus on meeting people where they are. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, centred on the person's goals rather than clinical labels. Megan uses a mix of talking and exercises tailored to each person. She uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based methods and client-centred styles to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Where helpful, she also incorporates ideas from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for managing emotion and distress. She pays attention to cultural background and family dynamics when they matter to someone’s presentation. The emphasis is on collaboration - setting small, clear steps and checking in about progress. Megan aims to create a respectful space for honest conversation and practical problem solving. To begin, people are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. The therapist then helps schedule sessions according to availability and the subscription arrangements in place.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours and trying practical exercises to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy, abandonment feelings and family difficulties. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan works with each person to decide which methods to try first and adjusts the plan as needs and goals change. She checks in about what is helping and what feels difficult, so the work fits the individual's pace and priorities. Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the original biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick support moment is needed. It can also let people maintain continuity when relocating or working across time zones. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and behavioural tasks for remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
