About Megan

Megan Fernandes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and intimacy-related concerns. Megan is listed for jealousy on her profile and can discuss how it fits with relationship patterns and attachment concerns.

She works in a warm, respectful way and aims to meet people where they are. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that cause repeated upset. Megan draws on simple exercises, reflective conversation and grounding practices to help people cope day to day.

Her background includes eight years providing mental health and behavioural counselling across different settings. That experience has covered issues such as self-esteem, anger, depression and motivation, alongside family and parenting concerns. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Megan pays attention to cultural and cross-cultural factors when she tailors support. She listens for how past relationships and attachment patterns shape current worries. Together with each person she aims to set realistic goals and practical steps for change.

Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Megan can work toward insight and deeper understanding, or focus on symptom relief and improved daily functioning, depending on what a person wants. She offers sessions in English and Hindi and accepts international clients.

How Megan’s approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and when someone wants clearer life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect trust and closeness now; it can help with jealousy, commitment concerns and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing them with new behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan uses a collaborative process to match methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences. She will check in and adjust the approach as therapy progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day. It can also let people connect from different time zones when international work is needed. Registered or accredited professionals vary in how they structure online work, and Megan will discuss what will work best for scheduling and for the aims set in therapy.
