About me
Dr Gisele Fernandes
Clinical Psychologist & CBT Psychotherapist
Are you looking for a safe, thoughtful space to understand yourself better? To feel more at ease in your life? To express yourself, in an environment that places your mental wellbeing at its core? As an experienced, UK-trained Clinical Psychologist and online psychologist, I’m here for you.
Over the years, I’ve supported hundreds of people to move beyond their emotional struggles, build resilience, and rediscover a stronger sense of self. Whether you’re seeking counselling for depression, struggling with anxiety, or simply feeling stuck, my aim is to guide you towards meaningful, lasting change – one conversation at a time.
Supporting You to Explore
Therapy with me is a space of warmth, curiosity, and genuine care. It’s a place where you can pause, reflect, and explore your experiences without judgment.
I believe that being deeply listened to – truly heard – is one of the most healing experiences we can have. Through this process, I’ll help you reconnect with your own clarity and strength, even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.
Together, we’ll look at what’s been holding you back and begin to uncover new perspectives and possibilities. My role is to guide and support you as you move towards greater understanding, acceptance, and emotional wellbeing.
Therapy isn’t about fixing who you are. It’s about creating space to become the ‘you’ that you are, without the dark cloud up above.
Drawing Out Your Strengths
My approach focuses on what’s already strong within you – your courage, resilience, and capacity for change – by drawing on Narrative and Systemic approaches, helping us understand your experiences within the wider context of your life and relationships.
By seeing your story in this broader way, we can reduce self-blame and create space for compassion and growth. Through reflection and insight, I’ll support you in breaking free from the patterns that sustain distress – and help you move toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.
This process of acceptance and understanding can be deeply transformative, allowing you to live more freely and authentically.
What I Stand For
I believe
that everyone deserves to be deeply listened to; to be met with empathy, curiosity, and respect. The journey of self-exploration is not always easy, but it is one of the most meaningful journeys we can take.
I stand
for genuine transformation – for facing challenges with honesty and compassion, and finding the strength to grow through them.
My goal
is simple: to be fully present and supportive throughout your therapeutic journey, walking alongside you as you navigate change.
My approach
combines evidence-based methods with warmth and humanity. I see emotional difficulties not as personal failings, but as part of the shared experience of being human – challenges that can be understood, worked through, and overcome.
I believe
that the heart of therapy lies in the relationship we build. Through collaboration, problem-solving, and hope, meaningful change becomes possible.
