About Me
I was raised and educated in England and Portugal and have a love of culture and languages. My passion for psychology was sparked during my translation work for Street Projects in Brazil. This led me to complete a B.Sc in Psychology and subsequently an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy.
I have been fortunate enough to work with a diverse range of people across a vast array of settings to include HMP Prisons, Homeless Charities, NHS Mental Health Services, Wellbeing Clinics and Higher Education.
I am passionate about accessibility of therapy. In 2016, I completed online therapy training and set up my online practice with a focus on emotional/psychological health and wellbieng. This has enabled me to expand my reach to support expats, international clients as well as working professional such as GP's and lawyers.
Therapy Approach
As an Integrative therapist, I draw on a range of approaches depending on what works best for you. This might include integrating strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when working with anxiety or panic. The use of Gestalt to explore emotional wellbeing or attachment and psychodynamic approaches to understand how relationships/ patterns of the past impact on behaviour in the here-and-now. Sessions may involve looking back at your personal history to enable future choices; making sense of or processing deep rooted emotions; support to develop relationship/communication skills to improve connections in the here-and-now; or offer more goal orientated strategies such as anxiety management, working with panic to establish/restore a sense of calm/safety in your life.
Accreditation & Registration
I am accredited and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and am a member of the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online. I am fully insured and work to UK legislation.
