Sheila Hernández, integrative therapist in Copenhagen

Do you feel that anxiety, stress or distance from the people you love have settled into your daily life without you quite knowing why? If so, I want you to know that you are not alone in this.

Sheila Hernández, terapeuta en Copenhague

Who I am and how I work

My name is Sheila Hernández de la Fuente and, like you, I know what it is to leave the familiar behind and build a new life somewhere else. Today I live in Copenhagen, and that experience of adapting to a new environment, another language and other ways of doing things has shaped both my personal life and the way I support other people in therapy.

I work from an integrative approach: I combine tools from cognitive-behavioural therapy, which helps identify and transform the thoughts that trap us, with a humanistic approach, which puts your experience and your pace at the centre of the process, and with mindfulness practices, to learn to be present even when everything feels heavy. There is no single way of doing therapy that works for everyone, so I adapt the tools to what you need, not the other way around.

I support people going through very different moments: anxiety and stress, difficulties in a relationship, processes of change or the migration grief of having left a country behind. I also support those who feel they have been holding everything up for too long and have reached a point of exhaustion.

I know first-hand what it can feel like when anxiety starts to take up too much space: when your mind won't stop, constantly anticipates what could happen and it is hard to switch off even when apparently everything is fine. My personal and professional experience lets me understand that discomfort and, through therapy, help you understand what is going on and develop tools to gradually regain your calm and feel well again.

My aim is not only to listen to you, but to offer you concrete tools you can take away from each session and apply in your real life, in Copenhagen or wherever you are.
