Helen Pereira

Born in Brazil, I also hold an Italian passport. After completing my degree in 2006, I moved to Rio de Janeiro, where I began my professional journey through specialization courses and training in psychiatric and general hospitals. I have been a psychologist for the past 18 years, gaining experience in various fields and approaches (you can find more detailed information on my LinkedIn profile at www.linkedin.com/in/helenpereirapsychologist). In 2018, I moved to Sydney, Australia, and challenged myself while studying and improving my English skills, working in customer service, sales, and marketing. In 2020, I returned to the mental health field, offering online and in-person sessions to Brazilians living in Australia. Currently living in Singapore, I continue having clients from Australia while expanding to other cultures and backgrounds. It's fascinating to see how society and culture can impact a person's life and mental development. Thanks to virtual platforms and healthcare technology, I strongly believe that the possibility of working remotely offers access, delivery, affordability, and equity to mental healthcare, raising awareness, improving understanding, and combating stigma and discrimination.
