About Fernanda
Fernanda Nardoni works on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She uses a person-centred stance and practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through problems and try new ways of coping. Fernanda is registered with NCPS and has nine years of professional experience.
She holds a master’s degree in Psychosocial Studies from the University of London. Fernanda aims for clear sessions that focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens to each person’s story and helps identify small, realistic changes to try between sessions.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Fernanda draws on techniques that have research support to address anxiety, panic, and stress, and to work through past trauma and relationship conflict. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and workplace problems.
Fernanda offers support in English and Portuguese and works with international clients. Her experience includes working with people who feel isolated or overwhelmed, those facing pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and people dealing with money or employment stress.
Practical matters such as cost vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule a first session using the Talk to a counsellor online button.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Fernanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptoms and practical change. One approach addresses anxious thoughts and avoidance patterns by helping people notice unhelpful thinking, try different responses, and build tolerance for difficult feelings. This is useful for panic, social anxiety and persistent worry.
Another approach concentrates on processing distressing past events and their emotional impact, with careful pacing and skills to manage strong reactions. This can help with post-traumatic stress and lasting shame or guilt.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fernanda will discuss different methods with each person and agree a plan based on their goals, needs and preferences. She aims to be collaborative and to adjust techniques if something is not helping.
The practical details of how sessions are delivered should be confirmed before booking. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please check current options when arranging appointments. Online work can make counselling easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
