About me

My name is Vânia Sofia. I am a Psychologist/Neuropsychologist, full member of the Order of Portuguese Psychologists (OPP). I am passionate about the little things/details of life, music, cinema, writing, poetry, sport, nature especially the sea, animals, science and development.

I have a master’s degree in Neuropsychology and specialization in Mindfulness, having already worked in various therapeutic environments: clinics, hospitals, social centers, municipal chambers.

I worked as well at a scientific level in the area of neuroscience research thus gaining significant experience at the therapeutic level and research into development from children to adults, as well as family support.

My goal is to provide a better quality of life by enhancing all your cognitive/emotional abilities, allowing harmony between being and well being as well as positive parenting.
