Erica Fernandes

I provide a non-judgemental space that gives you an opportunity for exploration. Our sessions will be led by you. I will support you in your inherent ability to know your own intentions and have them honoured; allowing you to know yourself more and increase awareness. We could reflect on what may or may not be working for you in your life by taking a look at feelings, sensations and thoughts. Certain patterns or ways of being and relating can be identified that could free up energy and joy in life, improve steadiness and ability to self-regulate. Specific attention will be paid to a building of your own personal internal resources that maybe lacking at present. Once we become aware of these patterns, we naturally take steps to transform our lives into even more of what we want. This type of psychotherapy (Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy) enables you to positively impact the root causes, rather than just alleviate symptoms.

Some of the areas I can work with you on:

Developing resilience and the capacity to be with unbearable feelings

Personal growth and transformation

Healing from trauma and emotional hurts

Overcoming stress, burnout, depression & anxiety

Overcoming negative life patterns that are holding you back

Develop healthy boundaries i.e. to say a compassionate no

Stop the intergenerational transmission of negative emotional patterns

Understanding relationship dynamics

Turning negative relationship dynamics into positive dynamics

Connecting more deeply with your inner self

Learning to access your intuition and innate wisdom

Finding meaning and purpose in your life

Developing components of emotional intelligence: awareness, self-regulation, empathy

Understanding your emotions, and working with them, rather than against them

Tending to addictive behaviours
