Welcome to Nest
Nest is a welcoming, safe and warm space for conversations. Like a nest, therapy can offer shelter, nurturing and safety during times of vulnerability and uncertainty. It is also a space for growth, development, gaining strength and exploring possibilities.
A nest is intentionally simple. While the work is grounded in solid therapeutic frameworks and multiple modalities of therapy, the approach is not fancy or performative. We focus on genuine, human conversations — you don’t need to arrive with perfect words or a clear plan. We begin wherever you are.
Nest fosters the birth of something new: awareness, fresh perspectives, clarity and solution to problems. These can gently emerge through conversations, reflection, and collaboration.
"Learn to read symptoms not only as problems to be overcome but as messages to be heeded" Gabor Maté
About Fabricia
I’ve worked across both public and private settings and have over a decade of experience in counselling and group facilitation.
I’ve supported people struggling with depression, anxiety (social, generalized and panic), grief, addiction, life transitions and more. I have postgraduate degrees in counselling and health sciences (cognitive behaviour therapy) and have trained in many modalities: CBT, DBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and others.
I bring experience and qualifications, yes – but mostly importantly I bring curiosity, creativity, humour and respect for how complex human beings are. There is no “cookie cutter” approach.
My style is welcoming, warm and informal - thanks to my Brazilian roots! My aim is to make sessions feel more like conversations and less like interventions.
