I´m a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of experience in delivering psychological interventions for people from all backgrounds and places experiencing multidimensional issues. I´m a chartered member of the Portuguese Psychologists Association (Ordem dos Psicólogos Portugueses, in Portugal). I´ve worked in various settings including primary care, private health clinics, substance misuse specialist services, probation, prison services and organizations supporting people going through very challeging life circumstances. I´m trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, psychological assessment, CBT applied to anxiety, depression and mood disorders, therapeutic alliance, motivational interviewing, solution focused brief therapy, mindfulness and other courses which enables my ability to deliver up to date, evidence-based interventions. Besides the need to enroll in training to keep growing as a professional, I believe that models and theories are useful to support people but not all people fit into theories and stantardized models. Each person has unique experiences, perspectives and own resources and these ideas underpin my work, which is person-centred and tailored to the changes each client wants to make in their lives, by setting their own road map, with clear goals and directions at their own pace.

Throughout my professional journey, I have also been delivering workshops and training in mental health and wellbeing for staff in public and private settings.
