About me
Renata Fernandes Msc
Welcome to my practice! I am Renata Fernandes, a Brazilian psychologist dedicated to supporting clients on their personal growth journey. I offer a safe and welcoming space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions, strengthen your relationships—with yourself and others—and gain confidence to face life’s challenges.
With a Bachelor's in Clinical Psychology and a Master's in Counseling Psychology, along with over 10 years of expertise in various therapeutic modalities and techniques such as Person-Centered and Gestalt Therapy, I am committed to fostering positive and lasting change. My goal is to help you understand yourself better and develop the tools needed to navigate life’s complexities.
Having lived, studied, and worked in Brazil, the UK, and now the Netherlands, I deeply understand the challenges of cultural adjustments. Since opening my practice in the Netherlands in 2018, I’ve welcomed clients from diverse backgrounds, ensuring every individual is treated with respect and empathy. My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in collaboration and trust, creating a safe environment for you to share your experiences.
I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs, recognizing that no two individuals are alike. Together, we’ll create a space for you to express yourself, improve relationships, and confidently tackle life's challenges.
Sessions are available in Portuguese and English for adults and adolescents (12+) dealing with issues like anxiety, depression, academic challenges, and life transitions. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow and transform with the right support.
