Are you feeling overwhelmed or struggling to navigate life’s challenges? Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, or ASD traits such as masking, social anxiety, rumination, or low self-esteem, you don’t have to face it alone. Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings, understand patterns, and discover ways to cope, grow, and make your own choices. Creative approaches like sand, clay and art can also help express emotions when words are hard to find. Sessions are available in English and Portuguese, face-to-face or online, to support your healin
Some of the issues people struggle with are: Anxiety / Depression / ADHD /ASD/ self-esteem / Changing negative habits / Loss / Stress / Relationships / Improving communication / ACEs & PTSD / Recognising and regulating comorbidities generated by ASD, Asperger Syndrome, ADHD, Borderline Disorder / Chronic Pain Co-dependency / sexuality.
I work integratively, combining Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Trauma-Informed, Attachment and Existential approaches. I offer a warm, calm, and non-judgmental space to explore change. While we can’t control everything around us, we can learn to respond to challenges in ways that support growth and resilience.
