About me
I am a Doctor of Counselling Psychology (DCPsych), Psychotherapist (MBACP Accred), and supervisor with experience working across charitable organisations, private practice, and academic settings. My therapeutic work is informed by Existentialism and Gestalt Therapy, and I support individuals and couples navigating burnout, workplace stress, identity questions, relationship issues, and emotionally demanding life transitions.
Originally from Brazil, I understand from personal experience the challenges of studying and training in the UK as a migrant. I provide therapy in both Portuguese and English.

Further information
The sessions are completely confidential except under three circumstances:
a: From time to time I will discuss my work with a clinical supervisor, this is standard practice and helps me to work as well as I can with you. My supervisor is bound by the same code of ethics and confidentiality as myself.
b: If I believe you are at risk of harming yourself or others, I reserve the right to break confidentiality to prevent harm. However, I would only do this in extreme circumstances and would always try to discuss it with you first before taking any action.
c: If required by a court of law to give evidence (e.g., in criminal proceedings)
Where our work extends beyond 6 weeks, I recommend that we have at least 2 weeks notice of ending to allow us a proper conclusion.
