Megan Fernandes, BACP

Megan Fernandes is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has eight years of direct practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem and depression. Parents and adults who are juggling care responsibilities, work pressures or relationship strain will find practical help with everyday problems.

Megan uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-focused thinking. Sessions focus on what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating at home, and small changes people can try between meetings. Conversations are practical and paced to what each person can manage.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment ideas and client-centred listening. That means attention to values, noticing difficult feelings, and helping people clarify which steps matter most to them. These methods are often used for coping with grief, trauma responses, addictive patterns and low motivation.

Megan has experience supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds and can work in English and Hindi. She has worked across different settings with adults and with parents concerned about family dynamics and parenting strain. Her background includes responding to issues linked to attachment, blended family pressures and caregiver stress.

People who come to Megan usually want clear strategies to reduce tension at home, improve communication, or manage strong emotions. She emphasises practical skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can agree goals and next steps.
