Online Counselling  Sessions
Clinical Supervision and 
Well-being Services

  I understand that life’s challenges are unique and complex to all individuals.

 I believe that through counselling, clients can recover motivation, perspective, and hope, strengthen problem-solving skills, build resilience and learn how to tolerate anxiety; they also can overcome unwanted memories and sadness and experience joy again. As a counsellor, I’m here to help you find your inner resilience and move forward mindfully towards the stuff that matters the most for you.

 I offer online and face-to-face therapy sessions to pre-adolescents from 11 years old, young people and adults 

                     What I can help with

 ADHD, Anger management, Anxiety, Autism spectrum, Bereavement, Child related issues, Cultural issues, Depression, Eating disorders, Identity issues, Impostor syndrome, Loss, Redundancy, Relationships, Self-esteem, Self-harm, Suicide ideation, Sex-related issues, Sexual identity,  Stress and burnout, Worry overthinking and OCD, Trauma and Work related issues.

Therapeutic ways of working:
 

 The Integrative Approach is the core foundation of how I work. I value the therapeutic benefits of building a strong client-therapist working relationship. This approach utilises and integrates several established models of talking therapy rather than relying upon just one, thereby drawing knowledge from many highly effective therapeutic practices. 

Including: 

Person Centred Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)

Psychodynamic 

Attachment therapy 

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT )

Internal family system (IFS)

Powered with Mindfulness, Psychoeducation focusing on Neuroplasticity 

Culturally-Affirming Therapy

 

As a mixed-race Brazilian neurodivergent woman and a trained therapist, I understand the profound impact that cultural values, beliefs, and customs have on individual experiences. In my practice, I prioritise a culturally affirming approach to therapy that honours my clients' unique cultural identities. I am committed to understanding and respecting your cultural background, and I use this knowledge to inform our work together.

 

In our sessions, we may incorporate elements of your culture, including traditional healing practices and culturally specific rituals, to enrich the therapeutic process. My aim is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel understood and validated in your cultural identity.

 

Together, we will explore and draw on your cultural strengths and resources, empowering you to overcome challenges and achieve your therapeutic goals. I believe embracing your cultural heritage is a vital part of the healing journey, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Neurodivergent Affirmative Therapy

 

 

As a neurodivergent affirmative therapist, I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space for individuals of all neurodiverse backgrounds. My approach is rooted in understanding and affirming the unique experiences, strengths, and challenges that come with neurodivergence. I believe in the importance of embracing individuality and fostering self-acceptance.

 

I offer compassionate therapy tailored to meet your needs, helping you navigate life’s challenges while celebrating your identity. Together, we can work towards understanding your experiences and achieving your personal goals.
