“I’m a Brazilian psychologist with an MA in Psychosocial Studies from Birkbeck, University of London. My approach draws on psychosocial, relational and psychoanalytic perspectives, exploring how our relationships, experiences and social contexts shape the way we understand ourselves and the world around us.

About Me

Hello! I’m a Brazilian psychologist with a background in Psychology from Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás and an MA in Psychosocial Studies from Birkbeck, University of London. I work with adults experiencing difficulties with self-esteem, relationships, identity, emotional wellbeing and periods of change or uncertainty. I have a particular interest in supporting immigrants living abroad, including those navigating migration, cultural adjustment, loneliness, belonging and changes in identity. Having lived and worked in the UK, I understand that moving between cultures can bring both opportunities and challenges. I offer therapy in Portuguese and English, exclusively online, and aim to create a space where you can feel heard, understood and free to explore your experiences without judgement. My work is not about telling you what you should do, but about helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences, so that you can find your own possibilities for change and meaning.

Approach

My approach is collaborative, relational and grounded in psychosocial, socio-historical and psychoanalytic perspectives. I see each person as unique and understand emotional experiences within the context of relationships, personal history, culture and the wider social world. Therapy is a space to slow down and explore what may be difficult to understand or express on your own. Together, we can explore emotions, patterns of relationships, self-esteem, identity, life transitions, migration, belonging and experiences that may be affecting your wellbeing. My aim is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences, making space for reflection, new perspectives and meaningful change.
