About Megan Fernandes
Megan Fernandes is a licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom who holds the BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings eight years of direct mental health and behavioral counselling experience working with people facing anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma, anger management, difficulties with motivation, low self-esteem and confidence, and depression.
Her practice is informed by an acute sensitivity to multicultural and cross-cultural factors. Much of her clinical work has been with children, young people, families and adults across a variety of settings, which has helped her adapt interventions to different life stages and circumstances.
Megan’s therapeutic stance emphasizes compassion, respect and warmth. She draws on influences from individual-centred therapy, Gestalt, cognitive-behavioral approaches, mindfulness practices and structural systems thinking, and she tailors these influences to each client’s needs. A central priority is to meet people where they are and to calibrate treatment in collaboration so it aligns with identified goals.
Whether the aim is deeper insight or practical symptom relief and improved functioning, Megan works collaboratively to set realistic steps forward. She recognises the strength it takes to begin therapy and focuses on fostering an open, nonjudgmental environment where feelings and thoughts can be explored and where clients can find support and encouragement as they move toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings by focusing on personal values and committed action. It is often used to address persistent anxiety, low mood and patterns of avoidance by encouraging meaningful steps forward despite uncomfortable internal experiences.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. It helps people understand themes such as abandonment, trust, and intimacy so they can develop healthier ways of relating to partners, family members and themselves.
Client-Centered Therapy places emphasis on empathy, warmth and nonjudgmental listening to support self-exploration and personal growth. This approach can be helpful for building self-esteem, strengthening confidence and creating space to process life transitions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process — Megan will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques, and Megan tailors her approach to what is most useful for the individual.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent support from wherever a person is located. These options offer flexibility around scheduling, reduce the need for travel, and can help maintain continuity of care during busy or changing life circumstances.
