Hello
I have lived in the UK for many years and feel fortunate to have connected with people from diverse cultural backgrounds in both my personal and professional life. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how our unique stories shape who we are.
​
Life has its ups and downs, and I’ve been there too. Attending therapy during challenging times helped me find the strength to accept my past and realise that, while I can’t change what’s already happened, I have the power to shape my future and decide how I want to live.
​
My journey into counselling started with a passion for people. After studying Psychology and spending years working in HR, primarily in the education sector, I discovered I was most drawn to the human side of the job—their well-being, emotions, and relationships. This led me to pursue a career in counselling, where I could focus entirely on supporting people in meaningful ways.
​
My experience as a workplace mediator further strengthened my appreciation for the power of communication. It was this understanding that naturally led me to couples counselling, where I guide individuals and partners to navigate challenges and find healthier ways to connect.
​
In my work with couples, I began to notice that sexual concerns often lingered beneath the surface but were rarely addressed directly. Wanting to provide more holistic support, I chose to specialise in this area and have since completed a Master’s in Psychosexual Therapy.
My professional journey has included counselling roles in an LGBTQI+ charity, a rape crisis centre, and providing psychosexual therapy within the NHS, all of which have enriched my perspective and honed my skills.
​
I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is at the heart of meaningful change. Choosing the right therapist is deeply personal, and it’s important to find someone who feels like a good fit.

If you have made it this far here's a bit more about me:
​​
-
I was born in Brazil and have been living in the UK for over 18 years.
-
I’m fluent in both English and Portuguese and work comfortably in either language. I can also communicate "ish" in Spanish and would say my spanish is more “creative” than fluent!
-
I’m a summer person at heart, drawn to brighter and warmer days, though I can’t help but smile when it snows.
-
The beach is my happy place—there’s something so calming about the sound of the waves.
-
I love learning new skills and trying different activities. Over the past couple of years, I’ve picked up chess, tried kickboxing, given paddleboarding a go, and started learning tennis (with very humble beginnings!).
-
I recently experienced the loss of a beloved pet, which deepened my appreciation for the special role pets play in our lives and the grief that comes with saying goodbye.
