About me
Hi, I am Leonardo! As an affirmative Psychologist, I guide clients on therapeutic journeys exploring life's deeper questions, clarifying values, and creating meaningful personal narratives. Having lived as an expat for 12 years across the UK and Middle East before settling in Athens, Greece, I intimately understand the emotional complexities of relocation and cultural transition.
My practice centres on nurturing genuine self-awareness and wholeness, empowering clients to craft more purposeful, fulfilling lives.
I specialise in supporting individuals through identity development, relationship dynamics, sexuality, LGBTQ+ concerns, addiction recovery, feelings of loneliness or emptiness, anxiety, and depression. My particular expertise lies in navigating life transitions and relocation challenges. Using a trauma-informed approach, I create a welcoming space where clients can safely explore their innermost experiences.

Olá, sou o Leonardo. Como terapeuta multimodal, acompanho clientes nas suas jornadas investigando questões profundas, entendendo valores e criando narrativas mais significativas. A minha experiência como expatriado por 12 anos no Reino Unido e Oriente Médio antes de me estabelecer em Atenas, me auxilia no entendimento de desafios emocionais de relocação.
Minha prática promove autoconhecimento autêntico e integração pessoal, ajudando meus clientes a construírem vidas com mais propósito.
Atendo questões de identidade, relacionamentos, sexualidade, LGBTQ+, dependências, solidão/vazio, depressão e ansiedade. Tenho experiência especial em transições de vida e adaptação cultural. Com abordagem sensível a traumas, crio um ambiente acolhedor onde os clientes podem explorar suas experiências íntimas com segurança.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
GSRD (Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversity) TherapyRecommended for those seeking affirmative support and guidance while navigating the complexities of identity, sexuality, and relationships.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
My approach is grounded in the belief that existential crises can become gateways to profound personal growth. I help clients discover new perspectives and apply evidence-based techniques to navigate life's challenges with clarity and purpose.
I combine professional expertise with personal insight, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and valued. I support their pursuit of self-knowledge and meaning across all areas of life, blending scientific rigor with respect for lived experiences.
I specialize in relationships, particularly LGBTQ+ dynamics, alternative relationship models including monogamy and polyamory, and the complexities of dating apps, addressing expectations, compulsive use, addiction, and chemsex. I explore how these intersect with identity and how modern societal factors shape our experiences.

Minha abordagem parte da crença de que crises existenciais podem se transformar em profundas oportunidades de crescimento pessoal. Acompanho meus clientes na descoberta de novas perspectivas e na aplicação de técnicas baseadas em evidências para lidar com os desafios da vida com mais clareza e propósito.
Através da integração da minha experiência profissional e vivência pessoal, ofereço um espaço seguro e acolhedor, onde cada pessoa possa se sentir ouvida e valorizada. Apoio a busca por autoconhecimento e sentido em todas as áreas da vida, integrando o rigor científico com o respeito pelas experiências individuais.
Atuo com foco em relacionamentos, especialmente nas dinâmicas LGBTQIA+, em modelos afetivos diversos como monogamia e poliamor, e nas complexidades do uso de aplicativos de relacionamento. Trabalho temas como expectativas, uso compulsivo de apps de encontro, dependência e chemsex, sempre explorando como esses elementos se conectam à identidade e são influenciados pelos contextos sociais contemporâneos.
