Megan Fernandes
Practical counselling for stress, relationships and mood
About Megan
Megan Fernandes helps people tackle stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction and trauma. She supports people facing anger, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, career change, ADHD and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. Megan is a BACP counsellor and works in English and Hindi.
Megan uses a down‑to‑earth style in sessions. She aims to make conversations clear and practical. Sessions focus on what is going on now and on small, useful steps to feel steadier and more able to cope.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive work, emotion-focused thinking and attachment-informed ways of understanding relationships. She mixes these to suit each person rather than follow one fixed plan. Expect straightforward techniques alongside space to talk about feelings and relationships.
Megan has eight years of experience providing mental health and behavioural counselling across varied settings. That background includes helping people with motivation, confidence and the stresses that come from caregiving, blended families and separation. She says cultural differences matter and pays close attention to each person’s background.
In sessions she aims to be warm, respectful and direct. The focus is collaborative: setting goals together, trying practical tools and checking what helps. People meet for regular sessions and work at a pace that fits their life.

Sessions & fees
Ways therapy can help online with evidence‑based approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches simple strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep and anger management.
Attachment‑Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships affect emotional responses and closeness. It can assist people dealing with relationship difficulty, abandonment worries and intimacy‑related issues.
Megan treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss what feels most relevant and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. Sessions aim to combine practical techniques with talking through feelings and relationship patterns.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when schedules allow, phone sessions use less bandwidth and feel simpler for short check‑ins, and text or live chat work well for more frequent, brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while still using evidence‑based methods with registered or accredited professionals.
