About me

I'm a trained clinical psychologist, sport psychologist and existential psychotherapy practitioner, based in Lisbon. I believe that change follows a good relation, one rooted on care and trust. Therapy should allow you to channel your authentic self, to make choices and set goals for yourself, without judgment or pre-conceptions.

Rua Alexandre Herculano 19, 1250-098 Lisbon, Portugal

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.

I follow the tenets of existential psychotherapy, the basic principle that everyone is free to choose and we do so every single day. Having to do that brings forward anxiety and a myriad of other feelings that distract us from ourselves. There is no harm in feeling as we need to, sometimes all we need is someone that is there to listen and allow us to acknowledge that and move forward.
