Therapy offerings
and FAQs
with Fernanda Reschke
Our work together usually takes place online. When we work face to face, I often incorporate eco-therapy into our sessions, working outdoors and allowing the natural environment to become part of the therapeutic process.
In my practice, I bring together Gestalt Therapy, Somatic Experiencing®, and eco-therapy to support a holistic way of working. This means we don’t only talk about your experiences, we also pay attention to the body, the environment, and what is happening in the present moment.
- Gestalt TherapyGestalt Therapy invites us to slow down and notice what is here, now. We explore patterns, relationships, behaviours, and unfinished experiences with curiosity, so that what may have been automatic or out of awareness can become clearer and more integrated. It is not about analysing your life from a distance, but about experiencing and understanding yourself more directly.
- Somatic Experiencing®Somatic Experiencing® brings the body into the work in a practical way. It supports the nervous system to process and release stress and trauma that may be held physically, often without conscious awareness. We work gently and at your pace, allowing the body to complete responses that may have been interrupted, helping you feel more regulated, present, and able to respond to life with more ease.
- Eco-therapyEco-therapy becomes part of the work when we meet in person. Being in nature can support regulation, reflection, and connection in a way that is often different from sitting in a room. The environment becomes part of the process, offering space, rhythm, and perspective.
- Psychedelic integrationI offer psychedelic preparation and integration support for people who are considering, preparing for, or returning from psychedelic experiences, including those travelling overseas to attend retreats or ceremonies. This work provides a grounded, therapeutic space to explore intentions, consider emotional and practical readiness, and make sense of what emerges afterwards. The focus is on safety, reflection and integration, helping you bring insights from the experience into your everyday life, relationships and ongoing therapeutic work
The work is paced with care and focused on helping you reconnect with your own resources, your body, and a way of living that feels more aligned and sustainable.
Combined together, this creates a therapeutic space that is supportive, grounded, collaborative, and responsive to you as a whole person.
Alongside these modalities, I bring a deep respect for cyclical living and knowledge drawn from Indigenous and earth-based perspectives, particularly when working with themes such as menstruation, menopause, and the different seasons of life.
This allows us to approach these transitions not as problems to fix, but as meaningful phases that carry their own intelligence, challenges, and possibilities.

FAQs
You can contact me through the contact form on this website. From there, we can organise a short initial 15 min phone conversation to see if we feel like we might be a good fit to work together and to briefly talk about what you are looking for.
If we decide that we would like to work together, I will send you an intake and consent form for you to read, complete, and sign. In the same email, I will also send you information about my fees and current availability so we can organise a regular session time.
Once the paperwork is completed and we have scheduled a time, we can begin our sessions together.

No, you do not need a referral to book a session. You are welcome to contact me directly to arrange an appointment or an initial conversation to see if we are a good fit to work together
The relationship between therapist and client is one of the most important parts of therapy. It is important that you feel comfortable, safe, and understood. You are welcome to contact me for an initial conversation, and after a few sessions we can both reflect on whether this feels like the right fit for you. If I feel that I am not the right therapist for your needs, I will always try to help you find someone more suitable.
At the beginning of the process it is recommended that we see each other regularly – either weekly or fortnightly. if that is not possible for you, we will find a more flexible approach that is tailored to your needs. Sessions are 50-60 minutes long.
You certainly can, however I need to know what would suit you best by the time of the booking.
I currently work with individuals only, but I can provide referrals for couples therapists if needed.
I ask that you cancel your session with a 24 hours notice, otherwise a fee will be incurred.
The first session is usually a space for us to get to know each other. You can share what brings you to therapy, what you would like support with, and we can talk about your history, your current situation, and what you hope to get from therapy. You are not expected to tell me everything in the first session. Therapy is a process and we go at your pace.
This is very common and completely okay. You do not need to arrive at therapy with a clear plan. We can start wherever you are, whether that is something specific that happened during the week, a feeling you cannot explain, a relationship issue, or simply a sense that something in your life is not quite right.
This is very normal. Therapy can sometimes bring up difficult emotions, memories, or conversations. We will always go at a pace that feels manageable for you, and part of my role is to help you feel safe and supported while exploring difficult topics.
Therapy does not always create immediate changes, but over time many people notice that they understand themselves better, react differently to situations, set healthier boundaries, feel more grounded, or make different choices in their lives. Sometimes the changes are very subtle at first. Therapy is often more about long-term change than quick fixes.
The duration of therapy can vary, ranging from months to years. The time frame is influenced by the reasons for seeking therapy, the strength of our therapeutic relationship, and the depth you wish to explore during our sessions.
Yes, many people take breaks from therapy and return later. Some people pause once they feel they have worked through the issues that brought them to therapy, and come back when new challenges arise or when they are ready to explore things more deeply. Returning to therapy is often a sign of self-awareness and personal growth.
Not at all. Many people come to therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because they want to understand themselves better, navigate life transitions, improve relationships, build boundaries, or live more consciously and intentionally.
