Hi there! My name is Fernanda and I hold an Honors Degree in Psychology. I’m an experienced Psychotherapist and a member of the Australian Counselling Association - Level 4.

My passion has driven my practice to focus on a psychodynamic approach, integrating psychoanalytic models. I take a humanistic stance, valuing each individual’s unique experiences. I aim to help clients gain insight into themselves, explore repressed emotions, and develop a profound understanding of their current challenges. In my sessions, I strive to create a space where your concerns can be heard, understood, and addressed.

My caring and empathetic approach fosters a collaborative therapeutic relationship. Originally from Brazil and living in Australia for over 12 years, I am a thoughtful and compassionate therapist dedicated to supporting clients facing a diverse range of mental health challenges.

Some of my areas of interest include self-esteem, trauma, depression, stress, relationship issues, adjustment to life changes, grief and loss, pregnancy and perinatal mental health, parenting challenges, sexuality issues, workplace problems, and immigration adjustment difficulties.

I offer sessions in both English and Portuguese for individuals, couples, and adolescents aged 14 and older.
