Reaching out for support can feel like a big step.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply want space to reflect, counselling offers the opportunity to explore what’s going on for you in a safe, supportive environment. I'm here to walk alongside you, offering compassion and understanding as you navigate whatever challenges you're facing.

About Me

I’m a qualified person-centred counsellor with a BSc in Psychology and a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a belief in your capacity for growth and healing. I offer therapy in both English and Portuguese.


At the heart of my work is a commitment to creating a space where you feel truly heard, without fear of judgment. I won’t tell you what to do or offer quick fixes—instead, I’ll support you in understanding yourself more deeply and making the choices that feel right for you.

How I Work

I use a person-centred, non-directive approach, which means:

  • You set the pace and direction of our sessions
  • We focus on what matters most to you
  • I offer empathy, acceptance, and honest reflection—not analysis or advice


I believe that with the right support, we can all tap into the inner resources we need to heal, grow, and move forward.

What I Can Help With

People come to counselling for many reasons. You might be:

  • Feeling anxious, low, or emotionally overwhelmed
  • Struggling with self-esteem, identity, or relationships
  • Navigating grief, loss, or life transitions
  • Trying to make sense of past experiences or trauma
  • Seeking a deeper understanding of yourself

Whatever brings you here, I offer a confidential and compassionate space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
