Renata Fernandes Msc
Bem-vindo à minha prática! Sou Renata Fernandes, uma psicóloga brasileira dedicada a apoiar a apoiar o crescimento pessoal e o bem-estar emocional dos meus clientes. Ofereço um espaço seguro e acolhedor para você explorar seus pensamentos e emoções,fortalecer relações e ganhar confiança para enfrentar as dificuldades.
Quem Sou Eu
Minha jornada na psicologia começou em projetos sociais, workshops e seminários, e me levou a concluir a graduação em Psicologia Clínica e um mestrado em Psicologia do Aconselhamento. Com mais de 10 anos de experiência em abordagens como a Terapia Centrada na Pessoa e Arteterapia, adapto cada sessão às suas necessidades específicas. O meu compromisso é promover mudanças positivas e duradouras em sua vida, ajudando você a se conhecer melhor e a desenvolver ferramentas para lidar com os desafios.
Minha Abordagem e Experiência
Tendo vivido, estudado e trabalhado no Brasil, no Reino Unido e agora na Holanda, entendo os desafios que vêm com a mudança para um novo país e as dificuldades culturais. Ao passar por essas experiências, desenvolvi uma profunda empatia e compreensão das questões que meus clientes enfrentam. Quando cheguei à Holanda em 2018, abri meu consultório para receber pessoas de todas as origens culturais. Estou aqui para ajudar, independentemente de onde você venha.
Meu objetivo é empoderá-lo a se tornar o especialista em sua própria vida. Utilizo abordagens como a Terapia Centrada na Pessoa, que valoriza a sua experiência e perspectiva únicas, e a Arteterapia, que pode facilitar a expressão emocional de maneiras criativas. Juntas, essas técnicas ajudam a promover a autodescoberta, a resiliência e a construção de um futuro mais satisfatório.
Como Posso Ajudar
Ofereço sessões em português e inglês para adultos e adolescentes (12+), abordando questões como ansiedade, baixa autoestima, desafios culturais e acadêmicos, dificuldades nos relacionamentos e transições de vida. Nosso trabalho conjunto visa superar obstáculos, construir resiliência e encontrar um caminho para uma vida mais plena e satisfatória. Acredito que cada pessoa possui a capacidade de crescer e se transformar quando encontra o apoio certo.
Meus Valores e Filosofia
Acredito que cada ser humano é único e merece ser tratado com respeito e empatia. Minha filosofia terapêutica é baseada na colaboração e na confiança, onde você se sente seguro para compartilhar suas experiências e emoções. Estou aqui para apoiá-lo em sua jornada de autoconhecimento, ajudando-o a descobrir seu potencial e a viver de acordo com seus valores.

Se você está pronto para dar o próximo passo em sua jornada de transformação, estou aqui para guiar você. Entre em contato e vamos começar a trabalhar juntos em direção a uma vida mais resiliente e satisfatória.

Explore my approach to therapy to see how I can best meet your expectations.
What You Can Expect
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but I’m here to make the process as smooth and welcoming as possible. As we work together, feel free to share your thoughts and feedback at any time to ensure our sessions remain effective and aligned with your goals.
Here’s a glimpse into my approach to therapy and what you can expect during our time together:
Getting Started
We will get there one Step at the time …
How does it work?
1. Assessment
Get ready to dive into your journey with a few questions to help us tailor the best approach just for you!
Our first step together involves an intake assessment, typically lasting about 90 minutes. This is our chance to get acquainted, address any questions or concerns you may have, and dive into what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. Together, we'll explore achievable goals and set a path for our time together. During this initial meeting, we'll also discuss consent, go over the intake information, paperwork, important details about confidentiality and privacy.
2. Intervention
After we've explored your aspirations, needs and goals, we'll develop a customized intervention plan tailored to your goals and preferences. This personalized strategy will guide our journey, helping you make meaningful progress towards your objectives. Each session will focus on the issues you're ready to tackle, always keeping your main goal in mind.
The length of our sessions will depend on various factors, including the complexity of your concerns and practical considerations like scheduling and budget. To ensure we're meeting your changing needs and goals, your progress will be regularly reviewed and the approach will be adjusted as needed.
3.Conclusion
As you become more self-assured in navigating life's challenges, together we'll decide when it's time to wrap up our sessions.
Now is the moment you feel prepared to continue this journey independently, demonstrating your confidence in applying the insights and skills you've acquired to face life's twists and turns with greater resilience and self-assurance. From here, we can gradually reduce the frequency of our sessions until you feel ready to stop it.
Even as our formal sessions come to an end, please know that I'm still here to offer support or guidance whenever you feel the need to reconnect.
Start your journey by choosing a path that feels right to you.
