About me
I'm a Integrative Psychotherapist and Arts Psychotherapist with over 15 years’ experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional challenges. I offer a calm, private space in NW11, W1W and online, where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply and explore what may be affecting you beneath the surface.
You may be feeling anxious, low, or disconnected—even though life looks fine from the outside. Maybe you’ve always coped on your own, but now find yourself struggling with anxiety and depression, emotions that feel overwhelming, stuck patterns in relationships, or a sense of emptiness you can’t quite explain.
Many of the people I work with have experienced emotional neglect, childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, family relationships that left them feeling unseen or unsafe, or adapting to a life transition. Therapy offers a space where these wounds can begin to be understood and healed, gently and at your pace.
My approach is relational, trauma and intercultural informed. I work integratively, considering somatic experiences, creativity – when words aren’t enough – and early years experiences.
Therapy with me is not about quick fixes. It’s about creating lasting, meaningful change from the inside out. I offer long-term, in-depth work for people who want to understand themselves, their emotions, and their relationships more fully.
I trained in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy and hold a BSc in Psychology. I have experience across the NHS, charities, private practice, and community organisations. I have delivered talks and webinars on trauma and mental health, and have a particular focus on the impact of early emotional harm and interpersonal wounds.
I speak English and Portuguese.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am an experienced and fully qualified psychotherapist with a BSc in Psychology from PUC-SP University (São Paulo, Brazil) and an MA in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy from IATE, London. I offer therapy in both English and Portuguese (Brazilian).
Alongside my private practice, I bring over 15 years’ experience working in diverse settings, including the NHS, charities, schools, and community organisations. This has given me a broad understanding of the different ways emotional challenges show up across personal, professional, and cultural contexts.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and regularly engage in advanced training to stay updated on the latest research and therapeutic approaches. This ensures I can offer my clients the most effective and informed support.
My areas of experience include working with interpersonal and relational trauma, anxiety, stress, low mood, isolation, childhood sexual abuse, emotional neglect, domestic abuse, relationship difficulties, intercultural challenges, low self-esteem, work-related stress, and parenting concerns.
I am especially attuned to supporting people who carry invisible burdens – those who may be high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck beneath the surface. My work is trauma-informed with a relational approach while bringing creativity and somatic awareness. I honor your pace and unique life story.
I am MBACP Reg (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and HCPC Reg (Health and Care Professions Council), and I adhere to their professional standards and ethical guidelines.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
