About Megan
Megan Fernandes is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. She also supports clients who bring issues like trauma, addictions, grief and sleep or eating concerns.
Megan adapts her sessions to each person's situation. She aims for practical conversations that clarify what is causing repeated anger or frustration. Sessions focus on learning skills and trying different ways of responding rather than lecturing or quick fixes.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred practice and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. That mix lets her address thoughts, behaviour patterns and relational dynamics that fuel anger and resentment.
Megan has worked across different settings with adults and younger people, giving her a broad view of family and relationship stress. She pays attention to culture and background when talking about how anger shows up and what helps reduce it.
In early sessions she helps people name patterns and set small, achievable goals. Later work may include skills for emotion regulation, communication practice and exploring attachment or past losses that contribute to recurring conflict. The emphasis is on steady, practical change that fits into everyday life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them drive actions. It helps when anger is tied to avoidance or stuck patterns and supports values-based choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical strategies to interrupt unhelpful thinking that fuels anger and to rehearse alternative responses. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape reactions in adult relationships and can be useful when anger follows feelings of abandonment or mistrust.Finding the right approach is part of the plan. The therapist will work with the client to try methods, see what helps, and adjust what you focus on. That collaborative process means methods can be combined and tailored to personal goals and the issues that come up in sessions.
Check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-in sessions when needed and remove the need to travel. It can also let clients try speaking with a therapist from their local area or from another country, since international clients are accepted. Confirm specific session options when you sign up so you know what will work best for your routine.
