I know first-hand as a neurodivergent woman myself, how life’s cycles, societal pressures,and ingrained habits or patterns can feel overwhelming or discouraging. My goal is to be someone who supports and encourages you, holds space for your challenges, and helps you take actionable steps toward meaningful change.

Whether you’re managing high-stress responsibilities, navigating systemic or personal challenges, or embracing life as a neurodivergent individual, I strive to create a collaborative and empowering space that fosters growth, self-discovery, and a renewed sense of possibility.

Hi, I’m Emily 👋

Nathalia @ Fernweh Wellness | Online Therapy, ADHD, Trauma

What it’s like to work with me…

I draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, Logo Therapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy.

 I help clients recognize their strengths and values, and process difficult experiences.

I believe in creating a place to explore your experiences with compassion and authenticity, while reconnecting with a renewed sense of possibility.

My job is to be someone who supports and encourages you, holds space for your challenges, and helps you take actionable steps toward meaningful change.

It’s important to help you recognize your strengths and values, process difficult experiences, and develop strategies to navigate life’s complexities in a way that is unique to you.

We’ll start where you are—with honesty, flexibility, and no pressure to have it all figured out.

My Approach

  • My desire is to help you recognize your strengths and values, process difficult experiences, and develop strategies to navigate life’s complexities in a way that is unique to you. This can include exploring trauma, identity, social anxieties, unmasking, or shifting unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour.

    I draw from evidence-based approaches, including:

    • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

    • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

    • Compassion-Focused Therapy

    • Logo Therapy

    • Gestalt Therapy

  • I work with adults and teens navigating the messy, layered parts of life with curiosity, honesty, and no pressure to have it all figured out. Everyone carries experiences that shape how they see themselves and the world, and life can sometimes pull us into overwhelming responsibilities or intense stress that leaves us feeling stretched thin. My goal is to provide a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

    My desire is to help clients recognize their strengths and values, process difficult experiences, and develop strategies to navigate life’s complexities in a way that is unique to them. I especially enjoy helping:

    • Individuals navigating high-stress responsibilities, personal hardships, or systemic barriers.

    • Anyone exploring trauma, identity, social anxieties, or unmasking.

    • Neurodivergent individuals embracing their unique perspectives and experiences.

    • Those seeking to shift unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour.
