About me

My therapeutic integrative approach is founded in humanistic theories, including Person-centred and Gestalt concepts. I combine these with the essential qualities of empathy and trust to provide a warm, confidential, and non-judgmental therapeutic space.

I support individuals and couples with general mental health concerns as well as specific relationship and/or psychosexual issues. My approach places the client at the centre of the work, with a focus on patterns of relating and a belief in each individual’s capacity to find their own solutions. There will be opportunities to explore your past and/or present, allowing you to increase your self awareness, understanding, and explore options for change.

For couple's work there will be a greater focus on communication and fostering your connection and understanding (including guided exercises). For psychosexual issues I work by contextualising your concern, respecting your beliefs and cultural differences, and taking into consideration your individual story. 

We can work in either a short-term solution-focused or long-term way, tailoring the therapy to your individual needs and goals.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a psychosexual and relationship therapist, registered with COSRT (College of Sexual and Relationship Therapy). I bring experience of both short and long-term counselling in my private practice and within public NHS and charity settings, including those that support marginalised communities.

Prior to my counselling training, I have also worked as a CELTA-qualified teacher for over 6 years, developing a love of both communication and language. I am fluent in English and Brazilian Portuguese and offer therapy in both these languages. 

- PGDip Psychosexual & Relationship Therapy
- Foundation Certificate in Psychotherapy and Counselling, MCOSRT (reg).
