Asiyah Westcott Fernandez

Asiyah’s therapeutic orientation is integrative and is underpinned by evidence-informed modalities, from which she draws on a wide range of tools, techniques and frameworks tailored uniquely to each client. Asiyah’s work integrates Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Asiyah practices Child-Centred Play Therapy with younger clients. Unpinning all training and approaches is a deep appreciation for the brain’s neuroplasticity - the brain’s ability to reorganise and create new ways of thinking and feeling. With this understanding, Asiyah’s client work aims at promoting neuroplasticity for lasting emotional growth. Asiyah works from a non-pathologising, strengths-based perspective, viewing emotional and psychological challenges not as problems to be ‘cured’, but as opportunities for insight and growth. She helps clients recognise and build on their inherent strengths, using these inner resources to foster resilience and change.
