I am an experienced and skilled therapist with a background in clinical psychology, dedicated to support you towards improving your well being.
I meet you where you are, in a nourishing environment conducive to peace and safety.
How can I help
- by listening without judgement, valuing the unique human being that you are
- to investigate and understand emotions and behaviour patterns
- to reflect on earlier interactions and how they affect your present relationships
- to work with trauma and disconnected parts of self
- to help you navigate the complex process of grief, loss and abandonment
- to explore who you are and improve your self confidence and motivation toward life in general.
- to offer creative ways to express difficult feelings and experiences as a way of processing and integrate them.
I have extensive experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds in various settings. This includes Scotland, Glasgow, where I worked for a generic counselling service delivering long term sessions and Mind in London offering short term therapy to NHS patients. I have been providing effective therapy sessions assisting clients experiencing among others depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, bereavement, motivation and self-esteem. In Lisbon, within the Hospital setting, I delivered short term therapy for patients diagnosed with chronic disease. Additionally, I support clients in coping with life changes, acknowledging the healing power of resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
How do I work
My counselling approach is person-centred, emphasising deep listening and empathy as core conditions for healing. In addition I also incorporate cognitive and psychodynamic psychological models to effectively meet the individual needs of my clients. As a long-term mindfulness practitioner, I invite a gentle somatic and compassionate awareness to therapy sessions to connect and integrate the body and mind.
Whether you have a specific goal or willing to explore an area of your life, I am here to help you, I do offer a safe space for reflection, where you can cultivate skills and develop coping strategies to improve your life- I am committed to treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, a I am committed to support you on that journey.
