Are you going through a big life change or feeling lost in a place that once felt familiar? Whether you are navigating a new country, the end of a relationship, past trauma, or a shift in your identity, you don't have to go through it alone. I am here to help you make sense of your emotions, reconnect with your inner strength, and build a life that feels more like your own. I am a CBT Brazilian-born counsellor, based in the UK, and my path into this work has been deeply personal. I've lived through challenges and experiences that shape how I work: with compassion, cultural awareness, and deep respect for each person's unique story.
I work with young people and adults facing trauma, anxiety, cultural identity issues, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what's holding you back and what healing might look like for you.
Therapy is not about fixing you, because you are not broken. It is about gently unpacking your experiences, understanding your patterns, and supporting you reclaiming your sense of self. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. I offer sessions in English and Portuguese

I integrate CBT and ACT. Two evidence-based approaches that support both insight and meaningful change. Through CBT, we identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be fueling anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional pain. With ACT, we focus on building psychological flexibility, learning to accept what's out of control while committing to actions that align with your values.
