About me
I am a registered Psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with four years of professional practice experience. My expertise spans a broad range of areas including stress, depression & anxiety, addictions support, LGBTQ+ related matters, trauma, abuse, and neurodiversity - particularly ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD. I specialise in supporting clients with concentration, memory, and focus challenges, drawing upon my integrative person-centred approach which may incorporates CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and Humanism.
I'm also specialist in working with couples, and I am Polyamory, Kinky and BDSM informed therapist.
My philosophy centres on the belief that each client is the expert of their own narrative, possessing inherent strengths that can be harnessed to overcome life's challenges. I recognise that seeking support and working towards a more fulfilling life requires significant courage, and I am dedicated to providing a supportive, empowering therapeutic environment.
My multilingual capabilities in English, Portuguese, and Spanish enables me to offer culturally sensitive support to a diverse client base, particularly those navigating the complexities of living and working abroad.
