About Megan
Megan Fernandes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She supports clients dealing with trauma, grief, anger, addiction and self-esteem problems. She also works with concerns such as parenting, career strain, eating and sleeping issues, and neurodiverse challenges like ADHD.
Megan uses a warm, respectful style in sessions. She aims to meet people where they are and build a working relationship that feels safe and collaborative.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and practical ways to cope day to day. Her background includes eight years of direct mental health and behavioural counselling across a range of settings. Megan has experience supporting people with family and blended-family stresses, attachment and abandonment concerns, and caregiver or compassion fatigue.
She draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape each plan. Megan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers work in English and Hindi and accepts international clients who can engage in online sessions from other countries.
In initial sessions she listens to immediate concerns and practical goals. From there she and the client choose techniques to try, whether that means emotion-focused work, short-term coping strategies, or changes in everyday routines. She encourages steady progress and adjusts the plan as needs change.

Online support
How approaches like EFT and ACT work online
Megan uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and name strong feelings and how those feelings shape relationships and behaviour. EFT often focuses on emotion in the moment and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy is another strand she uses to look at how early bonds influence trust, closeness and communication in current relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to find what helps most. You and the counsellor set short-term aims and review progress together so the plan changes as you do.
Online work offers flexibility that suits many people. Video calls let you use visual cues and maintain a stronger sense of connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing contact between sessions and suit people who prefer writing or need brief, on-the-day support. Registered or accredited professionals adapt these formats to fit each person’s life and needs.
