Licensed clinical psychologist specialized in cognitive behavioural therapy, clinical sexology, and couples therapy.”
About Me
Here, you'll find a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your mental health. As a clinical psychologist, I specialise in cognitive behavioural therapy, clinical sexology, and couples therapy. We can work together to understand thought patterns, enhance communication, or navigate intimacy concerns. This approach provides practical tools to address anxiety, strengthen relationships, and foster overall well-being. It's a collaborative space for individuals and couples seeking lasting solutions.
Approach
Working together means turning worries and relationship signals into focused, achievable goals with clear steps you can try between sessions. Sessions in Porto or online, in Portuguese or English, are structured with space for reflection, targeted practice and gentle tracking of what changes. I use short, practical experiments and collaborative problem-solving to shift unhelpful patterns and restore connection and confidence. This approach suits adults and couples seeking straightforward, respectful work on anxiety, intimacy and communication.
