About Megan

Megan Fernandes is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, addiction, sleep and eating issues, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar issues.

Megan uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy among other approaches to help people name and work with difficult emotions. She combines this with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centred methods and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions focus on what is most helpful right now and on practical changes that feel manageable.

Her style pays attention to cultural differences and family backgrounds. She draws on experience from a range of settings and with a variety of presenting issues. Conversations are direct and clear, with attention to patterns in relationships and attachment where relevant.

Megan offers therapy in English and Hindi and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session via the online booking flow.

People who come for support can expect a collaborative approach that balances emotional work and practical strategies. Megan aims to help people clarify goals, try new ways of responding, and practise skills between sessions. Progress is discussed along the way so plans can be adjusted as needed.

How her approaches translate to online work

Megan uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with emotions that shape their relationships and self-view. EFT is often used when attachment patterns or recurring emotional responses get in the way of feeling close or steady. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, and practising values-based steps to move forward. Attachment-Based approaches focus on patterns formed in close relationships and how those patterns affect current connections.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Megan works with clients to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That selection is collaborative and may shift over time as practical issues and emotional work unfold.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in can fit into a lunch break, a phone conversation uses less data than video, and video can allow face-to-face interaction when helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these flexible arrangements to help sessions match everyday schedules and practical constraints.
