I'm a Psychosexual-and-Relationship-Therapist who supports English-speaking individuals and couples seeking help with intimacy and relationships. In my practice, I work with a range of sex-related concerns, including sexual desire, confidence, anxiety or performance anxiety, sex after trauma, vaginismus, erections, pain, orgasms, ejaculation, menopause, compulsive sexual behaviours and more.
My approach is collaborative, relational, and trauma-informed. I see sexual difficulties as woven into our emotions, relationships, and body, and I focus on our work being integrated rather than “treating” any issues in isolation.

I am a UKCP registered integrative psychotherapist and EAC accredited counsellor and work with individuals seeking support for a wide variety of reasons. Perhaps to cope with moments of crisis or to improve relationships, or in order to deal with very specific issues. We might be able to manage certain areas of our lives well but for others we feel unprepared or unskilled for. This can result in tension, unhappiness and a sense of failure. Together we gain an understanding of your current situation and the circumstances that have led up to it. In this process I can help you to make sense of emotions, thoughts and behaviours.

I believe in the unique strength of each person, in his or her potential to face life's difficulties. However, self-knowledge can help to activate that strength, especially when the situations occur by surprise or sometimes do not allow us to see other options. The intention of my accompaniment is to help you to regain that strength, in search of new tools that allow you to expand your capacity to continue leading your life in a fulfilling way.

Trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in Jungian analytical psychology, my approach is warm, practical, and deeply human.
I work with people struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, painful past experiences, and patterns that seem to repeat despite their best efforts to change them. I believe meaningful psychological work depends on genuine human connection, and I bring myself to the work as a real person. Together, we can attend to what is causing distress now while also exploring the deeper patterns, experiences, and meanings shaping your life.

I support people who have migrated to a new country, as well as those going through major life changes. Many of my clients feel lonely, anxious, or low — as if they’ve lost their spark and are trying to find it again. Some struggle with relationships or friendships, feeling distant from others or even from themselves. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can share your challenges, and we can explore them with compassion and curiosity. In our work together, I help you develop coping strategies, build resilience, and reconnect to yourself.

You may seem fine on the outside, but inside, you feel exhausted—stuck in survival mode, overwhelmed, or struggling to trust yourself and others. Maybe you've experienced painful relationships, boundary violations, or chronic stress that still affect you. You might feel anxious, disconnected, or notice that your body carries tension, even through physical symptoms or autoimmune issues.
You want more than just coping—you want to feel like yourself again. To trust, set boundaries, and move through life with ease. Right now, that might feel impossible. But healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

I work with adults, couples, and families navigating stress, emotional challenges, trauma, life transitions, or complex relationships. Many face work pressure, burnout, cross-cultural stress, relocation, or family difficulties. They seek a safe, supportive space to gain clarity, process emotions, understand patterns in their experiences, and reconnect with their strengths, aiming to improve relationships, decision-making, and overall well-being.

You are struggling to live a fulfilling life, yet you are not sure what is going on. You might have given it a name, yet it does not help. You might not know at the beginning that your presenting problem is only the surface. We will look together much deeper, at what brought you to that: at your personality.

I like to approach my work with compassion, humor, and authenticity.

I believe that compassionate illumination is what opens the door to transformation, belonging, and interior freedom. So, an important component of my practice is creating a space where people feel safe to open up about hard things. Whatever you're carrying, I'd love to journey with you.

I am often contacted by people who have moved to a new country or city, perhaps because I myself have been a migrant since 2018, when I left Brazil. On the other hand, I have patients who have never lived anywhere other than their hometown. In both cases, people often seek a sense of belonging - something we seem to be struggling with when we decide to see a psychologist. Sometimes the world changes around us or within us, and we may fear losing precious things: loved ones, cherished places, our time, our sanity, or even ourselves. It can be hard to picture our place in the world when so much changes and feels overwhelming.

I am a certified systemic counsellor specialising in working with expats and binational couples. English is my mother tongue, I am also fluent in German.
Systemic counselling seeks to help you understand how various 'systems' in your life, such as your family of origin, significant relationships, health and/or work, may have influenced and continue to influence you and your interactions with others. The goal is to understand yourself, your triggers and your behavioural or relationship patterns, and to implement changes, often small, to enable you to live a more positive and fulfilling life and enjoy more harmonious relationships.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
