Andrea Mendes Freira
Counsellor, MBACP
Regardless of our background we all go through difficult moments in our lives, leaving us overwhelmed and often struggling with feelings that may be hard to understand. It could be because life events are hard to overcome, or you feel exploited and disempowered and would like that to change. Maybe you are sexually unfulfilled or dealing with sexual problems. It could be that you want to build the confidence to come out of the closet or just to find your sexual self and enjoy the intimacy you desire in your romantic relationships. Whatever the reason is that brings you to this point - it is ok to look for someone to talk to.
It would be my pleasure to guide you in the work you wish to do. I am a compassionate listener and like to think of myself as a warm, straight forward person. I work empathetically and passionately to help you find meaning and purpose, to become more congruent and attuned as well as help you solve sexual issues and enjoy more intimacy in your relationships.
My practice is mainly Person-Centred. I have adapted my work to incorporate elements of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and from the Existential approach.
