About me
Born and raised in the countryside of Portugal. Genuine and spontaneous in relationship with those who cross my path and true to myself and to the human values I believe in. Restless by nature and driven by curiosity, I see in leaving the comfort zone an essential engine for self-knowledge and self-discovery. Owner of a free spirit, I know like the back of my hand the agitation and calm of the places from the world where I lived and worked, where I overcame myself. My passion and interest for Psychology and Psychoanalysis began since early age. I wanted to understand people better, their deep needs and shadows, as well as meet their potential and beauty. Being able to help others towards their journey of self-discovery and psychological well-being soon became a life mission.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
My approach is an in-depth type of psychotherapy based on Psychodynamic Psychotherapy combined with Integrative Psychotherapy, in which the therapeutic relationship is key and where different therapeutic tools and approaches are used to fit the needs of the individual client. My mission is to help you overcome any issues that may be causing you emotional pain or distress, making you feel disconnected, lonely or resentful; exploring your own insights about who you are and your history, where there is no room for judgment and where together we can discover where you come from and where you are going.
Experience
I have worked in very different settings, from charities to public schools, private practice, addiction rehab centre, private integrated continuous care unit, and NHS hospital services. I have been working with children, adolescents and adults in national and international settings. Passionate about humanitarian values and missions, I was also committed with some volunteering projects in Portugal and abroad, in Newcastle upon Tyne (UK) and Ghana. My main experience has been working as a Clinical Psychologist, doing psychological assessment, providing counselling and support psychotherapy.
Education
My academic life was mainly in Portugal, where I became a licensed Clinical Psychologist (MA), specializing in Psychopathology and Dynamic Psychotherapies by the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences of the University of Coimbra. I hold a postgraduate degree in Third Generation Therapies (Mindfulness, ACT and Compassion Focused Therapy) and I’m also on my personal and professional process to become a Psychotherapist.
I'm a member of Portuguese Board of Psychology (OPP), international affiliate member of American Psychological Association (APA), registered EuroPsy Psychologist by European Federation of Psychologists' Association and registered on the Portuguese Health Regulatory Authority (ERS).
