Mindwell Psychology is pleased to welcome Fernanda, an AHPRA-registered Provisional Psychologist, to our Geelong practice. Fernanda is currently completing a Master of Clinical Psychology and also holds a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours). She brings a thoughtful, compassionate, and reflective approach to therapy, supporting both adults and children across a wide range of psychological concerns.
Fernanda’s clinical work is primarily informed by psychodynamic therapy, an approach that focuses on understanding emotional experiences, relational patterns, and the influence of earlier life experiences on present-day thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. She offers a supportive space where clients are encouraged to slow down, build insight, and explore their inner world with curiosity and care. Fernanda values collaboration and works closely with clients to foster meaningful, sustainable change over time.
Fernanda supports individuals experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety (such as worry, social anxiety, and perfectionism), depression and persistent low mood, chronic stress and burnout, and emotional regulation difficulties, including anger and irritability. She also works with concerns relating to self-esteem, shame, and self-compassion, as well as relationship and attachment-related challenges.
In addition, Fernanda has experience supporting clients through perinatal and parenting-related concerns, grief and loss, sleep-related difficulties, and trauma-related experiences. She also welcomes clients who are navigating broader questions around identity, meaning, and personal values.
Fernanda has worked across public mental health services and educational settings, supporting adults and children presenting with complex emotional and psychological needs. She has a particular interest in helping clients identify recurring relational patterns and develop a deeper understanding of how their inner emotional world has been shaped by earlier relationships and life experiences.
Fernanda offers therapy in English and Brazilian Portuguese, allowing her to support a broader range of individuals within the Geelong community.
Mindwell Psychology is delighted to have Fernanda join our team, and we look forward to the warmth, insight, and clinical depth she brings to her work with clients.
Appointments with Fernanda are now available. To book an appointment at Mindwell Psychology in Geelong, please contact our team.
