How long would you like to be in the dark, telling me how dark it is? When shall we look for the light? Each of us is born with a powerful set of tools which we use to seek out and satisfy our needs for emotional nourishment. If those needs are being met in healthy, balanced and sustainable ways it is very much easier to maintain good emotional health. However, if that guidance system is not properly programmed, or if it has been damaged in some way, perhaps through trauma or poor skills development, it will be difficult to build a firm foundation for emotional well-being. Really good therapy will address those issues, quickly.

I’m Julia Queiroz (PhD), a qualified Clinical Psychologist (licensed in UK, Portugal and Brazil) offering trauma-informed therapy in English, Portuguese and Spanish. I integrate Somatic Experiencing (SE) and the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) to support adults struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional suppression, and childhood trauma. Many of the people I work with long for more authentic connection but feel stuck in patterns of tension, overwhelm, or self-doubt. Together, we create a safe space to explore these patterns and support your return to a calmer, more grounded and connected way of being.

I provide an open, warm and confidential space which enables clients to explore issues, which may have been difficult to deal with alone. I view therapy as an individual process and a journey of self discovery that create an opportunity to become aware of inner conflicts and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. I recognise that there is not one approach to therapy that will suit everyone. Hence, I incorporate integrative approach that means I can adapt therapy to each client and their individual needs. I can offer help and have worked with people struggling with a range of conditions including depression, anxiety or adjustment.

I like helping people resolve trauma & also helping people with anxiety such as health concerns. I am also skilled in helping people experiencing depression and low self-esteem. CBT has much evidence to support it being effective in treating common mental health issues by unlocking unhelpful thoughts and unhelpful behaviours which keep people stuck. We would work together to help you achieve your goals. I find that approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) & Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) alongside CBT combined are often more effective and therapy needs to be at your pace to be successful.

Couples Therapy: Communication is the foundation of all human relationships, and how we talk can indicate how healthy our relationship is. Both need to take individual and collective accountability and responsibility for communicating and listening to each other if a relationship is to flourish. Do you have a daily or weekly check-in with your partner to check the relationship's temperature? Or, do you only find the time to point out difficulties and problems in the relationship, resulting in no solution-focused understanding of the agreement, and you are irritated and frustrated and need clarity?
