Hello and welcome

As a therapist, I aim to support you as an individual or as a couple by taking a practical, open-minded and down-to-earth approach. My working style is interactive, engaging, and welcoming. I bring warmth and strength while also being appropriately challenging.

When working with couples, I encourage each partner to shift away from blame and instead reflect on their own patterns, emotions, and contributions to the relationship.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, so I invite you to explore my website and learn more about my approach. If you’d like, you can book a first session to see how we might work together.

If my available slots don’t suit your schedule, feel free to reach out - I’ll do my best to accommodate a time that works for both of us.

I am bilingual and offer sessions in English or Portuguese, providing both short- and long-term therapy.

​​

Types of therapy offered: Individual Counselling, Relationship Therapy (Couples Therapy) and Psychosexual Therapy (Sex Therapy).

Online Therapy

I work with adult individuals and couples online via Zoom, welcoming clients from across the UK and worldwide.
(Please note: due to legal or regulatory restrictions, I may not be able to work with clients based in certain countries.)

 

📍 In-Person Therapy – Chelmsford, Essex

From September 2025, I will also be offering in-person sessions in Chelmsford town centre (Essex).

 

Whether online or in-person, I create a calm, respectful, and confidential space to support your therapy journey.
