Megan Fernandes, BACP

Counsellor Megan Fernandes is a BACP member with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, grief and a range of other difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Hindi and Megan accepts international clients.

Megan uses practical talking therapies to address day-to-day problems. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Her aim is to work alongside clients to identify what feels most helpful and realistic for them.

In practice she focuses on clear goals and simple steps. Conversations cover patterns of thinking, emotional responses and steps people can try between meetings. She also attends to family and relationship themes that affect personal wellbeing, including communication, boundaries and attachment concerns.

Megan has worked across different settings with adults, young people and families. That experience informs a straightforward way of working that combines emotional reflection with practical strategies. She is comfortable discussing matters such as grief, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures and career stress.

People who choose to work with Megan are usually looking for a counsellor who will listen without judgement and help them try manageable changes. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session so they can talk through their priorities and decide next steps.
