Kelly Fernandes
Counsellor
Pronouns:She/Her
I bring a wealth of experience from private practice, charitable organisations, and teaching within the counselling sector.
I’ve been offering psychodynamic therapy to adult clients in private practice for several years. Alongside this, I’ve worked as a counselling skills tutor and lecturer in Further Education - supporting Level 2 and 3 students as they begin their journey into the helping professions.
I previously worked as a counsellor at a specialist organisation supporting LGBTQI+ individuals. This role deepened my understanding of gender, sexuality, and identity, and affirmed my commitment to inclusive and affirming practice.
I also trained and volunteered for several years at a bereavement charity, supporting individuals navigating grief and loss. This experience grounded my approach in empathy and compassion, and continues to inform my work today.
