About Saskia Huntley-Fernandes

Saskia Huntley-Fernandes is a Psychology-trained Wellbeing Coach and Cognitive Skills Consultant offering remote coaching sessions to support individuals in improving emotional resilience, building healthy habits, and navigating challenges related to self-esteem, overthinking, and daily stressors.

Drawing from a strong academic background and extensive supervised experience in psychology-informed work, Saskia offers structured, non-clinical support that encourages clients to explore their thinking patterns, develop healthier emotional responses, and feel more empowered in their personal growth.

Areas of Support (Non-Clinical)

Saskia works with individuals who are:

• Managing repetitive or distressing thought patterns
• Struggling with low self-confidence or emotional overwhelm
• Navigating relationship difficulties and communication issues
• Seeking support for perfectionism, overthinking, or rigid mental habits
• Looking to improve emotional regulation and decision-making
• Exploring themes of self-acceptance and self-compassion

She is especially passionate about helping clients who feel confused or distressed by intrusive thoughts and emotions, and offers structured support tools to help reduce their impact on daily life.

Coaching Style

Saskia’s coaching style is collaborative, practical, and compassionate. She draws on research-informed tools from:

• Cognitive-Behavioural Coaching (CBC)
• Self-compassion frameworks
• Mindfulness-based reflection and emotional flexibility
• Behavioural habit mapping and thought clarification exercises

Her work is influenced by structured models such as the Salkovskis et al. cognitive model of intrusive thinking, adapted in a non-clinical setting to help clients reshape interpretations and responses to uncomfortable or repetitive thoughts.

Saskia’s goal is to support clients in understanding how their thinking patterns influence behaviour, and to offer safe, guided strategies to increase emotional clarity and reduce internal distress.

Saskia graduated with First Class Honours in Psychology (MSci) from the University of Bath. She receives regular individual and group supervision from HCPC- and BABCP-accredited professionals in the UK to ensure her work remains aligned with ethical, evidence-informed coaching and psychoeducational standards.

She is deeply committed to continuous development and the application of research-backed frameworks that support emotional growth, insight, and resilience.
