Dr Gisele Caseiras
About me
I am a psychotherapist working with children, adolescents, young people, parents, and families.
Sometimes it might feel overwhelming to look for a psychotherapist. You might have questions on how I work and how I can help you.
I use evidence-based psychotherapy to support my clients, and I use my knowledge in medicine, neuroscience, and mindfulness to inform my thinking.
Using empathy and compassion, I work with clients to understand their emotional difficulties so they can overcome them and think of new ways to relate to themselves, their relationships, and how you manage difficult emotions. I take into consideration the social and cultural context of my clients and keep in mind how the body and mind might influence each other.
I provide support by offering a confidential, compassionate, and individual approach that is unique to each person. I believe a committed use of evidence-based psychotherapy can relieve symptoms, improve self-esteem, and increase flexibility in managing problems and worries.
In addition to providing Psychotherapy, I also teach at a Master's program at The Tavistock Clinic, facilitating the Difference, Identity, and Diversity workshop.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have over 13 years of study, research, and practice. I have been working in the UK for four years. I have also lived and worked in Brazil and New York City. I am registered with The Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists (TSP) and the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC).
I have worked in the charity and private sector, at primary schools and at an NHS multidisciplinary Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) team at the Tavistock and Portman Clinic, where she saw a wide range of young people and their families.
I am also a medical doctor specialized in Radiology with a deep interest in Neuroimaging. I have a PhD in Neuroscience and Neuroimaging from the Institute of Neurology, University College London (UCL), a Masters in Psychological Therapies, and a Postgraduate in Child, Adolescent and Family Mental Wellbeing, both from The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
