Ms Yema Ferreira

Psychotherapist

verified by TherapyRoute

Qualified integrative psychotherapist working primarily with black and African women around identity, and mental and spiritual health.

About Me

I am a psychotherapist based in Copenhagen, Denmark. I offer coaching for people dealing with past abuse, mood disorders, cross-cultural adjustment, and personal development.

Approach

Working with identity and spiritual health often looks like slow, steady exploration rooted in stories you bring, gently paced to hold emotion and cultural nuance while staying practical. Sessions in Copenhagen or online move between quiet reflection, somatic check-ins and short, goal-focused experiments you can try between meetings — usually in English, French or Portuguese. I offer a collaborative rhythm: noticing patterns, naming impacts of past abuse or cross-cultural strain, and testing small changes that feel possible. This approach suits women seeking grounded, culturally attuned healing and growth.
