About me

I am an experienced Psychologist in Brazil and a Counsellor and Psychotherapist in the UK, where I’m a Registered Member (Individual) of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a Member of the British Psychological Society (MBPS). With extensive training and practical experience in mental health support, my practice is neuro-affirming, and I see every person as unique and capable of thriving in life. My goal is to help people live the life they deserve.

I have substantial experience working in various settings, including secondary schools with adolescents, psychology clinics as part of multidisciplinary teams, and in private practice. These roles have equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support individuals from diverse backgrounds.

My Approach

Integrative and Evidence-Based: I ensure that each client receives personalized and effective care tailored to their needs.

Trauma-Informed Care: I am dedicated to understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of all types of trauma. This means I incorporate a deep awareness of trauma’s impact into my practice, creating a safe, respectful, and empowering environment for healing and growth.

My Expertise

Person-Centred Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Psychodynamic Therapy

My expertise in these therapies allows me to navigate a wide range of mental health issues. By integrating these approaches, I can tailor my therapeutic methods to meet the unique needs of each client, fostering a supportive and effective environment for personal growth and healing.

Whether addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health concerns, my diverse skill set ensures comprehensive and compassionate care.

I am dedicated to fostering mental well-being and empowering individuals to overcome challenges and lead fulfilling lives.

Approach to Confidentiality

Confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of our work together. I take extensive measures to ensure your personal information is secure, including the use of encrypted digital storage and secure physical record-keeping. Our sessions are conducted in a private, soundproof environment, and any electronic communications are protected through secure channels. While confidentiality is crucial, there are some legal exceptions. If there is an imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or if child abuse is suspected, I am required by law to report this information to the appropriate authorities. Additionally, court orders may compel me to release information. Rest assured, I will always discuss any necessary disclosures with you and seek your consent wherever possible. Your privacy and trust are my top priorities, and I am committed to safeguarding your information throughout our work together.

Get in touch


If you feel that counselling may be helpful for you then please contact me for more information.

Booking an introductory session is a great opportunity for you to find out a bit more about me, how I work and to ask any questions you might have.

Once we have decided that working together will be helpful for you, we will agree to meet regularly each week.


Everything we discuss in our sessions will remain confidential.

However, there may be an occasion where I feel it is necessary to inform someone else of an issue raised.

This would be if I felt that you or someone else were at risk of serious harm. I will always make every effort to inform you of this beforehand.
