TRAUMA THERAPY
You’ve lost the sense of fulfillment that used to drive you. The exhaustion is so overwhelming that it feels like you're running on empty every single day.
The lack of sleep and rest and the emotional toll of witnessing suffering and trauma day after day is slowly taking a toll on you. You constantly second-guess yourself, worrying that you made a mistake that could have life-threatening consequences for your patients. You struggle to relax or unwind, even during your downtime, as the stress and anxiety linger in the back of your mind.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE…YOU’RE JUST NOT SURE WHAT.
You are frustrated with the overwhelming bureaucracy, administrative tasks and off-load delays that take you away from patient care. And then there's the added stress of trying to live up to your own professional standards and what society demands from you. You are a "healthcare hero" after all.
Yet, you find yourself
questioning your abilities & wondering if you're even
Making a difference.
You have devoted your life to your career because you want to help others but with every work shift, the sense of isolation and disconnect with loved ones grows as you miss out on family events and social gatherings due to your demanding schedule and you find that there is no time left in the day for yourself or the things you enjoy doing.
HELLO, I'M ALTHEA FERNANDES
I believe that our greatest strengths often lie within our doubts, our fears & our stress.
With two decades in the healthcare field and drawing from my own experiences as a trained paramedic, I am on a mission to help paramedics and healthcare professionals identify and address the causes of their burnout, strengthen their mental resilience and achieve the work-life balance they deserve.
Using a compassionate and relatable trauma-informed approach, I hope to help my clients to understand their personal motivations for continuing in their healthcare careers, equip them with the tools to manage their emotional and physical stress, and help them develop a strong sense of self, independent of their professional achievements and grounded in their values. Additionally, my firsthand knowledge of the intense pressures and moral dilemmas faced by healthcare workers allows me to connect deeply with my clients and offer practical, relevant support.

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
