About Megan
Megan Fernandes is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of experience. She works with young adults and others on issues such as anxiety, stress, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD-related challenges.
Megan uses a blend of practical talking therapies. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on skills that can help people manage difficult thoughts and feelings. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours, and uses client-centred listening to help someone feel heard and understood.
Her background includes work across different settings and with diverse communities. That experience informs a culturally aware approach and attention to how family and cultural context shape problems like communication, attachment and abandonment concerns. She also works with issues connected to blended families, fatherhood, caregiving stress and codependency.
Megan aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication and develop clearer goals for relationships and career changes. Practical strategies may include emotion regulation and grounding skills informed by dialectical behaviour ideas, alongside acceptance-based techniques to reduce avoidance of difficult feelings.
Clients can expect straightforward discussion about goals, progress and next steps. To begin, people use the site matching questionnaire and book a first session where they can talk about priorities and the most useful ways to work together.
How Megan uses talking therapies online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and life changes where someone wants clearer direction.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It typically involves problem-focused work such as changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building new routines to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This can help when intimacy, abandonment or communication problems are part of the difficulty.
Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful in early sessions, and they will adjust the way they work in collaboration with the client.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around study, shifts and travel, and being able to meet from wherever is quieter that day. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking.
