About Megan

Megan Fernandes helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or the fallout from trauma and loss. She works with concerns such as low self-esteem, anger, addiction-related behaviours, intimacy issues, and codependency. She also supports people managing changes at work or home, sleep or eating problems, and mood conditions like depression and bipolar. Megan offers care in English and Hindi and is based in the United Kingdom.

Megan brings eight years of direct counselling experience to sessions. She focuses on listening first, then tailoring an approach that fits each person’s needs. Conversations are held with warmth and respect for cultural background and lived experience. The aim is to help people feel heard and to find practical ways to make day-to-day life easier.

Her ways of working draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, and dialectical behaviour strategies. That mix means sessions can include values work, exploring relationship patterns, skill practice for mood and impulse control, and gentle reflection on past hurts.

Megan often helps people untangle communication problems, commitment worries, caregiver stress, body image and eating concerns, and grief. She pays attention to how early abandonment or attachment issues shape current relationships. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with space for practical tools and emotional processing.

How her approaches shape online counselling

Megan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and feeling stuck by helping people notice thoughts without getting carried away by them.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and intimacy. That approach helps people make sense of trust, abandonment fears and repeated relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they check what feels useful and adjust the focus as progress is made.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when that is needed. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family or travel, and they allow the therapist and client to try different ways of working and homework between meetings.
