About Me
I specialise in the assessment of, and support within, neurodevelopmental and learning disorders; and emotional support to children, teens and their families. I help young people understand their unique learning styles and emotional landscape. My aim is to provide clear insights and practical strategies parents can use at home and school. This tailored approach equips families to navigate challenges, fostering confidence and well-being for everyone.
Approach
Using assessment and plain-language feedback, therapy unfolds as a practical collaboration where we set small, measurable goals. Sessions in Cascais, Lisbon or online—in English or Portuguese—move at a steady, predictable pace, combining brief skills practice, visual supports and regular family check-ins. I blend structured tasks with moments for reflection, adapting strategies between meetings so school and home routines become clearer and more manageable. This way of working tends to suit adolescents and parents who want concrete steps and steady progress.
