About Me

As a psychologist with a PhD, I offer a truly caring approach to mental health from my private clinic. I aim to create a supportive space where you can explore your concerns openly, without judgment. We can work collaboratively to navigate challenges and find your unique way forward. This gentle, person-centred style is ideal for anyone seeking thoughtful, dedicated support for their mental well-being.

Approach

Sessions are gentle and focused, paced to your needs so reflection and practical steps unfold naturally. I work in Porto and online, in English or Portuguese, keeping sessions structured yet flexible—assessment informs our targets, and between meetings you may try short practices or reflections to test what helps. Conversations balance curiosity with clear tools, using thoughtful questioning and measurable checkpoints so progress feels real. This approach suits people seeking steady, collaborative change at their own speed.
