Email meAbout me
I am fully qualified and have extensive experience as an Arts Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Psychotherapist working with Trauma, relational trauma, abuse and family conflicts. I also have experience supporting parents with any conflicts related to parenthood and their children.
I speak three languages English, Portuguese (Brazil) and Italian.
How we can work together:
My integrative approach would enables us to explore any conflicts or emotional concern you may bring. The main focus of our work will be defined by you and centred in your needs. My role is of a companion in your personal journey to support your emotional exploration and growth.
The use of arts and creativity can be extra tools to deepen on feelings that are hard to say in words.
Counselling & Psychotherapy:
Individual counselling is a very powerful way to develop awareness and understanding of what may afflicting you.
During the sessions you would have a free and non-judgemental and safe space to explore your feelings, anguishes and conflicts.
The aim would be agreed in a way that you feel more comfortable within yourself.
Arts Psychotherapy
Creativity and the Arts can be very useful tools to connect with deep feelings that are hard to express in words.
At times I might invite you to engage with your creativity as a way to connect with your inner self or explore any dilemma you may be facing.
Using the arts can range from drawing and painting to using post-card, metaphor and imagination.
Some people would want to use art every session, some other once in a while and you are in charge to choose how to tailor your personal process.
Training, qualifications & experience
