Calgary Counselling Therapists - Interns

Our practice is a teaching practice. We have an affordable therapy program, which offers a lower hourly rate if you work with one of our interns who is supervised by Dayami Fernandes.

Dayamí Fernandes

Counselling Therapist Certified Clinical Supervisor

Owner and Clinical Director CCS, CCC, MA, BEd.

Helping you achieve self-understanding and self-awareness is my passion. I believe that when we truly understand ourselves, we can make choices that align with our present needs and long-term goals.

What We Do

We provide counselling and therapy in Calgary for individuals, couples, and families. Conscientia Counselling began in my heart long before it became a practice. Ever since I earned my Master’s Degree, I knew I wanted to create a space where people felt seen, heard, and supported and now with my recently earned Certification in Clinical Supervision, I can support those who support you.
Through my journey, I’ve had the privilege of learning from various therapeutic theories, working under professional supervision, and being part of a deeply supportive community of colleagues. These experiences have shaped and continue to influence the work I do today.

Our Focus

At Conscientia Counselling, we welcome individuals from all walks of life. Our practice is inclusive and affirming, offering a safe space for everyone, regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, or spiritual beliefs. If you’re seeking support, guidance, or a deeper connection with yourself or your loved ones, we are here to help. Let’s work together toward healing and growth.

Neurodiversity-Affirming, Evidence-Based Therapy

As a master’s student in Counselling Psychology, I am completing my practicum with Conscientia Counselling. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their unique paths toward growth, healing, and self-discovery.

My background is rooted in Disability Studies, and for over six years I have worked closely with neurodivergent children, developing a deep appreciation for the diverse ways people experience and navigate the world. This experience has strengthened my commitment to creating a safe, respectful, and empathetic space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported.

I take a strengths-based, collaborative approach, empowering clients to build on their existing abilities and discover strategies that fit their individual needs. My training and education have emphasized areas including self-regulation, trauma, addictions, neurodiversity, adolescents and families.

My approach to counselling draws from multiple modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Person-Centred, and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). My goal is to offer evidence-based, compassionate care tailored to each person’s unique needs and journey.

Here To Support You

I am currently completing my undergraduate degree in Gender and Sexuality Studies with a minor in Sociology at the University of Calgary, where my focus has been on women’s trauma, mental well-being, and resilience. My academic background, combined with over four years of experience as a behavioural aide supporting children with diverse needs, has strengthened my commitment to creating inclusive and supportive environments. As the Office Manager at Conscientia Counselling, I look forward to ensuring smooth operations and contributing to the welcoming, client-centred experience that defines our practice.
