Julia de Souza Queiroz

I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist (HCPC-UK, OPP-Portugal, CRP/SP-Brazil and I have the EuroPsy certificate) with a PhD in Neurosciences and extensive postdoctoral research in neuropsychiatry. My lifelong work integrates core insights into how trauma, alongside practices for emotional growth and self-development, impact the functioning of our brain and body. My approach bridges scientific knowledge with compassionate care, helping people move from survival strategies toward more fulfilling ways of being.

I chose to specialize in the therapeutic approaches that have been most meaningful in my own growth, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Pathwork, Somatic Experiencing (SE), and the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM). My sessions are not merely “talk therapy,” because I have learned that the mind is not aware of it all. I bring in body-based awareness and relational exploration to access the deeper layers of experience that words alone cannot reach. My aim is to create a safe and collaborative environment where clients can process trauma, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with themselves in more authentic and fulfilling ways.
