Megan Fernandes

Megan Fernandes is a licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience providing direct mental health and behavioural counselling.

She works with a wide range of presenting issues, including anxiety, stress, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger management, motivation, self-esteem and confidence concerns, depression, and support for coping with life changes. Her clinical background also includes work related to addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coaching.

Megan approaches the therapeutic relationship with sensitivity and respect for multi- and cross-cultural factors. Much of her experience has involved working with children, young people, families and adults across varied clinical settings. She strives to bring compassion, respect and warmth to each therapeutic connection.

Her therapeutic style is informed by person-centred practice, Gestalt therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques and structural systems approaches. A top priority for her is to meet people where they are and to tailor treatment so it fits the goals they bring to therapy. Whether the focus is on gaining insight or on symptom relief and improved functioning, Megan aims to work collaboratively to achieve those aims.

She recognises that taking the first step towards a more fulfilling and happier life requires strength and courage. If someone is ready to begin, Megan offers support and empowerment within an open, non-judgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared safely. She is proud of people who take that initial step into therapy.
