Megan Fernandes, BACP

Megan Fernandes is a BACP-registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of direct experience in mental health and behavioural counselling. She has worked with children, young people, families, and adults, addressing a broad range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, motivation, low self-esteem, and confidence. Her caseload also includes issues related to addictions, LGBT matters, parenting, grief, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping challenges, and a variety of life transitions.

Megan brings careful attention to cultural and cross-cultural factors, treating each person with warmth, respect, and compassion. She aims to create an open therapeutic space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without judgment and where practical steps toward improved functioning and wellbeing can be identified. She places priority on meeting clients where they are and adapting the therapeutic plan to what will work best for the individual.

Her practice draws on a blend of therapeutic approaches, including client-centred work, Gestalt-informed perspectives, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness practices, and systemic ideas. This flexibility allows for collaborative work tailored to different goals - whether a client seeks greater insight, symptom relief, or improved daily functioning. Megan supports each person with encouragement and practical guidance as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Megan combines clinical experience with an empathetic, goals-focused style. She is accepting new clients and welcomes international clients who prefer to work in English or Hindi.
