I am an integrative therapist with a strong person-centred base and, informed by the internal family system (IFS) and the compassionate inquiry (CI) approach. My work as a therapist reflects my belief that every person can achieve positive outcomes given the right experience and support. I am skilled and comfortable working with a wide range of topics, but I have a particular interest working with personal growth, career counselling (including leadership, transitions and burnout), and relationships and family dynamics (including loss, dilemmas and narcissism). I offer sessions in both English and Portuguese.

I know therapy can help because it helped me. The key, I believe, is to find the right therapist, at the right time. I offer an initial 25-minute session to explore this together.

It might also be helpful to explain a little bit here how we work in our sessions. At the start, it is very much about listening to you and giving you the space to reflect on what has brought you to therapy. We might explore together how you see and experience your challenges and what you might want to achieve and accomplish with the sessions. I am comfortable and confident with most topics and issues and if for any reason I am not, I will let you know, and together we can find alternatives.

Each client is different and unique, and this greatly shapes the way we work in collaboration too. We might navigate from focusing on solutions for a very specific topic to discovering a root cause to unwanted emotion and/or behaviour. My intention is to follow what is important to you and engage with curiosity and compassion with any intention or problem you might bring to each session.

I find that the way the session tends to evolve, it usually offers an opportunity to reflect and explore what is right and of personal value to you. We often know what is burdensome and unwanted, but we might be unclear about what we would like to have/achieve/experience instead. What is most valuable to you. Such reflection is often an empowering experience, giving a voice to perhaps hidden and neglected parts of self. Then, an idea, insight, direction, a renewed strength might be found.

I do work from a perspective that challenges, struggles, difficulties and pain can also be an opportunity for integration and growth. Ultimately, it would be an honour however few, or very many sessions we might undertake together.
