About me

I am a professional coach (ACC credential holder with a PCC training accredited by the ICF, International Coaching Federation) and a certified art therapist (trained in France). With a background as a humanitarian worker and diplomat, I have extensive experience in high-stake work environments including ministerial cabinets, crisis situations and conflict zones. Having lived as an expatriate in several continents, I bring a multicultural perspective to my practice. Based in Lisbon since 2019, I run a private practice offering individual coaching and art therapy sessions, as well as regular group art therapy workshops for adults and children. I also offer on-line sessions in both coaching and art therapy.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Art therapyRecommended for those who feel more comfortable expressing emotions through creativity and want to explore their feelings through art rather than talking.
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
As a professional coach, I abide by the standards, ethics and methods of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Together, the client and I can address professional challenges ranging from career changes or evolutions to expatriation plans or productivity challenges for example. I also provide coaching to prepare for public speaking, oral exams and interviews. As an art therapist, I practice a multimodal approach offering a choice of various creative arts for emotional well-being and mental health: drawing, painting, writing, handicrafts, role play, clay, modelling, photolanguage, audio-visuals,...
