Hello

28_edited.png

I have lived in the UK for a long time and have been fortunate enough to interact with people from various cultures through my personal life and work.

​

Throughout the ups and downs of life, I have attended therapy. It helped me discover the strength to accept my past and recognise that, although I can’t change what happened, I can pilot the course of my future and govern how I want to live.

​

After studying Psychology and working for years in HR (mainly in the education sector), I found myself becoming drawn more towards the people (and their well-being) aspect of the job. This eventually led me along the path of becoming a Counsellor.

​

Having also worked as a mediator for workplace disputes, I understand the importance of communication between people, and that's what drew me to couples counselling. I believe that by guiding individuals through a process of discussing their issues, their relationship can improve.

​

Through my work with couples, I noticed that sexual concerns were often present in the background of their issues but not frequently addressed. To enhance my work with clients, I chose to specialise in this area and am currently completing my final year of a Masters in Psychosexual Therapy. I have previously worked as a Counsellor in a LGBTQI+ charity, at a rape crisis centre and in the NHS as a Trainee Psychosexual Therapist. 

​

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is crucial, and it's essential to choose someone whom you feel is a good match for you. I approach my work with a down-to-earth and relational mindset. I am empathetic while also being direct when needed.

​

Take care,

If you have made this far here's a bit more about me

This may not be of any relevance to you but just in case you are interested here's some personal information about me:

​

  • I was born in Brazil but have been living in the UK for over 17 years.

  • I can speak both English and Portuguese fluently and I am adept at working in both languages. I also communicate very badly in Spanish. 

  • I prefer summer over winter due to its brighter and warmer days. However, snow does make me smile. 

  • I love the beach and the sound of the waves. 

  • I love learning new skills - in the last couple of years I learned how to play chess, did some kickboxing, attempted paddle boarding and I am now learning how to play tennis. 

  • I have a dog but I like cats too :)
