About me and my therapy practice
I’m a fully qualified counsellor (PGDip) and psychotherapist (MSc), registered member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ). Experience in working with adults and young people from various nationalities and cultures presenting a wide range of issues. Working face-to-face indoors and outdoors (ecotherapy) in Brighton and Hove, as well as online (e.g. Zoom) and email. Counselling in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Living and working in the UK for over 30 years.
Grounded in the humanistic approach which focus on the human potential for creativity, love, growth, fulfilment and psychological health, I work with my clients' whole experience and consider the processes of thinking, feeling and behaviour equally important.
I assist adults and young people gaining greater insights about themselves, their thoughts, feelings, behaviours, past and present relationships and life experiences. I’m committed to help people making sense of their circumstances, identifying choices for change and supporting them during the process of change; or simply supporting them on their self-development journey.
Parallel to my private practice I have worked for Mankind (Brighton), YMCA Dialogue at local schools and at their service centres; Cruse Bereavement (Cruse accredited), As You Are Centre and BHT Threshold.
I also bring to my practice a wealth of experience from the educational sector, corporate business and healthcare industries, having lived, studied and/or worked in Portugal, Brazil, Spain, Denmark, Gibraltar and currently in the UK (for over 30 years).
