About me

As a therapist, I aim to support you as an individual or a couple by taking a practical, open mind and down-to-earth approach. My working style is interactive, engaging, and welcoming. I bring warmth and strength while also being appropriately challenging.

​I truly care about understanding your unique experiences and creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions.

 Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, so I invite you to explore my website, learn more about my approach, and decide if you feel we might be a good fit.

The first session is an opportunity for us to meet and connect. We’ll discuss your current challenges, explore your goals, and answer any questions you might have about the therapy process. This session is about discovering whether we’re the right match to work together, with no obligation to continue beyond this point.

My aim is to help you feel comfortable and empowered to make an informed decision about your next steps. If the availability shown doesn’t suit your schedule, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’ll do my best to find a time that works for both of us.

I am bilingual and can offer sessions in English or Portuguese, providing short- or long-term therapy tailored to your needs. Let’s take this first step together.

Let me know if this resonates with you!

Experience

​I have worked with clients who have experienced abuse, anxiety, bereavement, bullying, cultural issues, depression, discrimination, feeling suicidal, gender and sexuality issues, intercultural adjustment, low libido, relationship difficulties (personal or work-related), self-harm, separation/divorce, sexual abuse and violence, stress, trauma and workplace bullying

I have also worked at an LGBTQI+ charity working with gender, sexuality and identity and at a rape crisis centre. I am also studying towards a Masters in Contemporary Psychosexual Therapy. 

​Some common issues brought to me by couples are affairs and infidelity, communication, low libido, unmet emotional needs, parenting styles, sex, sexual dysfunctions, etc. Couples may also seek counselling to get to know each other at a "deeper" level as they progress in their relationship. 

Psychosexual Therapy

Here are some of the sexual issues I work with: anxiety around performance,
delayed ejaculation, difficulty with erections, difficulty with orgasm, lack of arousal, loss of desire, low or loss of libido, pain during penetration, premature ejaculation, sexual dissatisfaction, vaginismus. 
​If you’re interested in discussing whether psychosexual therapy might be suitable for you, please feel free to contact me via email.

Please note that I am a sex-positive, kink-aware and poly-friendly therapist.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

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).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
