Clinical Psychologist, Counseling Psychologist, Counselor and Psychologist
I am a Clinical Psychologist born in France and raised in Portugal. I've been lucky enough to live in five different countries, which has given me a unique perspective on human behavior and the challenges we face in life. My personality is marked by a caring nature and a love for humor, as I believe that humor can be a catalyst for growth and self-awareness.
I am a believer in the power of psychotherapy and the therapeutic alliance between a client and their therapist. This alliance has the potential to reveal an individual's true self and improve their overall quality of life.
Working with me, you can expect empathy, compassion and a deep respect for your unique journey. I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to your specific needs, creating a safe and supportive space for healing and personal growth. Grounded in evidence-based practices, I integrate psychodynamic insights, different techniques and mindfulness strategies to facilitate meaningful and lasting change. My coaching background enables me to guide clients towards personal growth and enhanced self-awareness. Through a collaborative and non-judgmental therapeutic alliance, I help my clients to develop new coping skills, gain clarity about their values and aspirations, and foster a sense of balance in their lives.
We will explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences in a confidential and non-judgmental environment. Together, we'll identify effective strategies for overcoming challenges, increasing self-awareness, and promoting your overall well-being.
I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, a postgraduate qualification in Coaching Psychology, and training in different psychotherapy techniques. Over the course of my career, I have completed additional training courses in both Portugal and the United Kingdom to further enhance my skills and knowledge in the field.
My experience spans both the corporate world and clinical settings, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the pressures individuals face in different settings. Whether navigating the complexities of the workplace or dealing with personal issues, I bring a holistic approach to my practice. I have a strong cross-cultural understanding and I speak Portuguese, English, Spanish and French, which allows me to effectively communicate and connect with a wide range of expatriates from different backgrounds.
