Dr Fernanda de Lacerda Mottin

Clinical Psychologist

(I am currently fully booked.) I am eclectic practitioner with almost ten years of experience working with mental health, insomnia, trauma, relationships, and parenting.

About Me

As an eclectic practitioner with almost ten years of experience, I offer tailored support for diverse challenges. I help individuals and families navigate concerns like insomnia, trauma, relationship dynamics, and parenting. My approach adapts to your unique needs, ensuring we explore effective strategies together. Clients appreciate finding a flexible space to address complex issues and build lasting well-being.

Approach

You can expect sessions to shift between practical, focused work and gentler exploration, with clear goals we shape together. Based in Wellington and working in English and Portuguese, I offer in-person and online appointments that move at a pace you can manage. We use short, doable experiments between sessions—sleep routines, communication practices, grounding or problem-mapping—to build safety and test what helps, then adjust from there. This way of working suits people seeking collaborative, step-by-step change for relationships, trauma recovery and parenting challenges.
