Megan Fernandes, BACP

Megan Fernandes helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and a wide range of emotional concerns. She also supports those dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, mood conditions like depression and bipolar, and challenges around self‑esteem, intimacy and parenting. Megan speaks English and Hindi and works from the United Kingdom.

Her style is warm and direct. She aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Conversations focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building coping skills that fit everyday life. Megan uses straightforward language and stays attentive to cultural differences that shape each person’s experience.

Over eight years she has worked with many types of presentations across different settings. That experience informs a flexible, person-focused approach rather than a single method. She draws on evidence-based ways of working to help people gain insight, manage symptoms and try new behaviours.

Megan blends talking therapy with skill-building. Sessions might include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing emotional regulation skills, exploring attachment patterns, or clarifying personal values and goals. She aims to match the work to each person’s pace and priorities.

People who choose her often want a practical partner as they make changes. Megan emphasises collaboration, clear goals and steady progress. The therapy is intended to feel approachable and useful from the first few meetings.

How Megan’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and interactions, helping people understand and change how they connect with others.

Megan adopts a collaborative approach to choosing methods. She will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Deciding which strategies to use is part of the therapeutic process rather than fixed from the start.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video allows face‑to‑face conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is low, chat and messaging suit shorter check‑ins or ongoing reflection. These options support flexibility so people can engage in ways that suit their routine and communication preferences.
