About Me

I offer a warm, bilingual space for adults facing depression or anxiety. My expertise as a Clinical & Health Psychologist also guides those navigating cancer and genetic cancer risk. We explore the emotional impact together, fostering resilience. Sessions provide a calm, collaborative environment to process difficult feelings. My aim is to help you find practical ways forward, supporting your well-being.

Approach

Therapy focuses on gently mapping how mood, worry and the particular stresses of cancer risk and treatment show up in your life. In Maia, Porto or online I offer sessions in English or Portuguese at a measured pace, balancing listening with clear, targeted reflections. I use thoughtful questions, brief between-session experiments and, when helpful, structured assessment to uncover patterns, shift unhelpful schemas and build practical coping skills. This way of working tends to help adolescents and adults looking for steady, concrete change.
