Profile

Fernanda received her BA in Psychology and MA in Counselling Psychology from the University of Victoria and is a registered clinical counsellor through the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). Fernanda has worked with different populations in a variety of settings but has found that working with post-secondary students resonates with her the most. Fernanda also has a background in psychology research and, thus, brings evidence-based practices into her therapeutic work, as well as blending in a student-centred approach that is both open and inclusive.

Fernanda is committed to providing a safe, and confidential space for students to discuss any concerns they may have – whether they relate to academics, personal issues, or mental health.
