Prof Miguel Richardo Fernandez is a psychologist based in Mount Lawley, WA. He works from Unit 4, 800 Beaufort Street (Corner of Fourth Avenue), Mount Lawley WA 6050.
His focus is on helping individuals, couples, and families sort through what’s hard and move things forward. That might look like feeling stressed for a long time, not sleeping well, struggling with low mood or anxiety, or finding it tough to cope with big life changes. At times, it’s about relationship tension, communication that keeps getting stuck, or family dynamics that feel overwhelming.
Miguel also uses approaches that many people find practical and steady. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is one key tool. It helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviours, then try small, realistic changes. Mindfulness-based therapy is another part of the work. This can support people to stay grounded in the present moment, especially when emotions feel intense or the mind won’t slow down.
Sessions are usually tailored to the way you’re living day to day. For some people, therapy starts with simply getting clarity on what’s going on and why it might be happening. For others, it’s more about building skills for coping, managing worry, or handling conflict in a calmer way. Miguel works at a pace that feels doable, and the plan can change as things improve.
Over time, therapy can help you feel more in control, even if life stays busy. You might learn ways to respond instead of react, set healthier boundaries, or handle tough conversations with less damage. Couples and families can also benefit from learning shared strategies, so everyone gets a better chance of working as a team.
Like many psychologists, Miguel’s aim is not to “fix” people in one go. It’s more about support, understanding, and practical progress. Whether you’re coming in for yourself, or you’re looking for help as a couple or family, the work is designed to be clear and grounded, not confusing or overly technical.
