Megan Fernandes , BACP

Megan Fernandes is a licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings eight years of direct mental health and behavioral counselling experience. She has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression, and she draws on that experience to tailor support to each person she sees.

She approaches therapy with a strong awareness of cultural and cross-cultural factors, and much of her work has involved children, young people, families, and adults across varied settings. Clients can expect a compassionate, respectful, and warm therapeutic relationship where the focus is on meeting them where they are and adapting the work to what will be most helpful.

Megan’s style is influenced by person-centered principles, Gestalt ideas, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and structural systems thinking. She aims to balance insight and symptom relief, working collaboratively toward goals such as improved functioning, clearer relationships, or greater self-understanding. Megan holds the BACP credential - membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognized UK professional body - and she is able to offer therapy in English and Hindi.

Taking the first step toward change takes courage, and Megan offers support and encouragement for people ready to work toward a more fulfilling life. She creates an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment and will work alongside clients to help them progress toward their goals.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and then take actions that align with their values. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and life transitions by focusing on practical steps toward a meaningful life.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop from early connections and current relationships. It can help people understand struggles with trust, intimacy, abandonment, and family dynamics by exploring how past and present attachments shape feelings and behavior.

Megan treats finding the right method as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the work evolves so the therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other commitments and allow people to access therapy from different locations while still working closely with their therapist.
