Megan Fernandes , BACP

Megan Fernandes is a United Kingdom based therapist who brings direct experience in mental health and behavioral counselling to a wide range of presenting concerns. She has worked with anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, anger management, motivation challenges, low self esteem, confidence issues, and depression, supporting people through both immediate symptom relief and longer term personal growth.

Her practice is informed by an acute sensitivity to multi- and cross-cultural factors, and she has supported children, young people, families, and adults across varied settings. She seeks to respond to each person with compassion, respect, and warmth, treating the therapeutic relationship itself as an important part of the work.

Megan’s approach draws on individual-centred methods, Gestalt ideas, cognitive-behavioural techniques, mindfulness practices, and structural systems thinking. She aims to meet people where they are, adapting the style and pace of therapy to suit individual goals - whether those goals are greater insight, improved functioning, or relief from distress.

Taking steps toward a more fulfilling life can require real courage, and Megan works to empower and support people as they make those changes. She creates an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment and collaborates with clients to move toward the outcomes they hope to achieve. She is also affiliated with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation-related challenges where taking committed action matters. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and can help with abandonment, intimacy, and relationship difficulties by exploring relational needs and building healthier attachment responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours and offers concrete strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other distressing patterns through skills practice and problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Megan helps clients explore options, adapt techniques, and tailor sessions so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support can be extended through live chat or text-based messaging when that fits a client’s life. These formats make it easier to access regular care, maintain momentum between sessions, and fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
