Megan Fernandes, BACP

Megan Fernandes offers help for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, grief and life changes. She also supports people managing addictions, sleep and eating issues, parenting strains, career questions, ADHD, bipolar and depression. Megan works in English and Hindi and sees international clients from the United Kingdom.

Megan takes a straightforward, warm approach in sessions. She listens first and then helps people name what matters most to them. Conversations focus on everyday thoughts and habits as well as patterns that keep problems going. Practical tools and short exercises are used alongside talking to help build new routines and ways of coping.

Her background includes eight years working directly in mental health and behavioural counselling across different settings. Megan works from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration listed as BACP. That experience has included supporting people with trauma, family and relationship difficulties and issues around motivation and self-worth.

Megan blends familiar therapy ideas rather than following a single strict method. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based approaches, Client-Centred ideas and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions are adapted to each person so the work feels relevant and doable.

People who meet Megan can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk through what is hard. She aims to help clients build clearer habits and gentler ways of noticing thoughts so daily life becomes more manageable.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Megan commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, grief and life transitions. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, often helping with anxiety, depression and everyday habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan treats this as a collaboration and will discuss which methods seem likely to help based on someone’s goals, preferences and what comes up in early sessions. She adapts the mix of techniques so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare and other commitments. It also allows for shorter check-ins or a mix of conversation and brief practical exercises, which can help people practise new habits between sessions.
