I have been working as a Counselling Psychologist in clinical and educational settings since 2003 and currently manage a specialist therapeutic service in the voluntary sector.

​

My integrative approach is at the core of my therapeutic philosophy, understanding that each individual is unique and that there is no one size fits all approach to mental health.

​

In my therapeutic work I draw from existential, humanist, psychodynamic, constructivist and systemic frameworks.

​

I have an interest in feminism, social justice, critical psychology and eco-psychology, and consider specific issues raised by these to contribute to my practice.

​

As a bilingual practitioner speaking English and Portuguese, I am particularly interested in the existential and practical impact of relocation. I understand the challenges and opportunities that come hand in hand with living abroad and its transformational potential, as well as the longing for familiarity and a sense of belonging.

​

I offer a culturally sensitive, inclusive practice and embrace and celebrate the richness that diversity brings to the therapeutic process.

​

I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and abide by their code of ethics. 

HCPC registration number: PYL042050.
