About Megan
Megan Fernandes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She supports those facing grief, trauma and issues with self-esteem. She also works with people dealing with addiction, parenting strain, career concerns and challenges around intimacy and sexual identity.
Megan draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning and direction when life feels uncertain. She blends client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance and commitment methods.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on small, manageable steps that can change daily life. Her work pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns. She helps people notice how past bonds affect current choices and reactions.
This often leads to clearer communication and less reactivity in stressful moments. Megan has eight years of experience in mental health and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She values cultural sensitivity and aims to make sessions warm and respectful for people from different backgrounds.
Therapy begins with listening and understanding what the client wants to change. From there she tailors the approach so it fits the person's goals and lifestyle. The emphasis is on collaboration, practical steps and building strength to manage future challenges.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Existential therapy helps people examine meaning, values and choice when life feels confusing or empty. It invites honest questions about purpose and what matters, and it can help with issues like grief, identity and feeling stuck.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pulled by them. It combines mindfulness skills with clear action steps to help people move toward the life they value, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress.
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and patterns. It can help people improve communication, reduce reactivity and build more satisfying connections.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to learn about a person's goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions adapt over time as priorities change and progress becomes clearer.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
