About Me

Drawing on extensive clinical experience, this psychologist and psychotherapist offers truly personalised support. A strong therapeutic relationship is central to their effective psychotherapy. Sessions blend scientific evidence with deep respect for your unique subjective truth. This helps you explore your inner world, offering tailored guidance. It’s an ideal fit for those seeking genuine connection and an evidence-informed path to understanding themselves.

Approach

Therapy unfolds as collaborative map‑making, where evidence and your lived experience guide us to notice patterns, moments and bodily signals that influence relationships and mood. I see clients in Porto and online, in English, Portuguese or Spanish, and pace sessions to your tempo—sometimes slower to track sensations, sometimes focused and practical between meetings. We weave exploration, reflective tasks and gentle body‑attuned work so insights land in daily life. This way often helps adolescents, adults and parents seeking clearer sense of self after anxiety, trauma or identity shifts.
