About Megan

Megan Fernandes helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem and life changes. She also supports those coping with addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and eating or sleeping difficulties. Megan is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years' experience.

Megan works in a direct, conversational way. She listens to what matters most and uses a mix of talking and practical exercises. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses.

Her work also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy helps look at how early relationships affect current behaviour and closeness. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques are used when people need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Megan is mindful of cultural background in sessions and aims to respond with respect to different life contexts. She meets people individually and concentrates on concrete steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Practical skills and short exercises are introduced during therapy and reviewed in later meetings.

Sessions can cover parenting stress, workplace strain, career decisions, compassion fatigue and specific concerns such as ADHD-related coping. People can expect clear explanations of methods and collaborative planning of goals. To begin, clients choose the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches fit with online counselling

Megan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Attachment-Based work. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that matter. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical experiments to reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns of closeness and trust and helps people change repeating relationship habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try, adjusting plans as goals and needs become clearer. This collaborative process helps match sessions to what feels most useful for day-to-day life.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. It can also make it simpler to use written exercises between meetings or to schedule sessions across different time zones, which supports international clients and those juggling busy routines.
