Hello and welcome

As a therapist, I aim to support you as an individual or 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.

​

I genuinely care about understanding your unique experiences and creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace.

 

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, so I invite you to explore my website and learn more about my approach. If you would like, book your first session and see what it's like working together. 

​​

The first session is an opportunity for us to meet and connect. We’ll discuss your current challenges, explore your goals, and answer any questions you might have about the therapy process. This session is about discovering whether we’re the right match to work together, with no obligation to continue beyond this point.

​

My aim is to help you feel comfortable and empowered to make an informed decision about your next steps.

 

If the availability shown doesn’t suit your schedule, please don’t hesitate to reach out - I’ll do my best to find a time that works for both of us.

​

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

​​

​

Types of therapy offered: Individual Counselling, Relationship Therapy and Psychosexual Therapy.
​
 
I work with clients from anywhere in the world, except the USA and Canada.
