About Fernanda
Counsellor and member of NCPS with nine years' experience, Fernanda Nardoni works in the United Kingdom and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem issues and depression. She also focuses on problems such as abandonment, caregiver strain, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation, money worries, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth, social anxiety and workplace difficulties.
Fernanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what matters most and helps people talk through immediate worries. The first session is used to understand what someone hopes to change and to agree how to work together.
Her approach draws on psychological research and clinical skills to address symptoms and everyday problems. Conversations include looking at patterns of thinking and behaviour, practical steps to reduce distress, and checking what works between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can be adjusted.
Fernanda holds a master's degree in Psychosocial Studies from the University of London. She is listed with NCPS. She offers sessions in English and Portuguese and accepts international clients who wish to work with her from elsewhere.
Practical matters such as fees and session arrangements vary by location. Therapy sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment via the See online counselling options button.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Fernanda draws on evidence-based approaches to help with symptoms and everyday problems. One focus is on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood. This involves noticing repeated thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to see what helps in daily life.She also works with approaches that address traumatic reactions and panic symptoms by stabilising intense feelings and developing coping strategies. This includes grounding techniques and gradual steps to face feared situations, aimed at reducing distress and increasing confidence in handling triggers.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a shared process. Fernanda will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree which techniques to try. She reviews progress and adapts the plan as you go so the work fits your circumstances.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, avoid travel time, and use quieter surroundings. It also allows shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day, and lets people choose whether to be on camera or not depending on their comfort.
